Meet Shannon Watts
I’m a speaker, author and Founder of Moms Demand Action, the largest women’s volunteer organization in America. I’ve been called a “summoner of women’s audacity,” and I’m honored to have been named a Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People, a Forbes 50 over 50 Changemaker, and a Glamour Woman of the Year. My first book Fight Like a Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World, was published in 2019.
My newest book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age, a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, is now available. This book is for any woman who believes she’s too old, too busy, or too inexperienced to go after what she really wants. Fired Up will invite you to shatter your self-imposed limitations and unleash your potential, and teach you to become a Firestarter so you can finally start living the life you want and deserve.
