The Story Behind 1 Word
1 Word: Discover, Reflect & Connect with Words That Can Transform Your Life brought fourteen women together to share one word that served as a motivating force in their personal or professional journeys.
Each contributor shared a personal experience and reflection about how her chosen word helped shape her life. Together, their stories created a collection of experiences, wisdom, and perspectives about the power of words.
This page preserves the story of the original 1 Word project, its collaboration, launch, and media coverage.
