Shirley Osborne
Shirley Osborne found the answer when a 14-year old girl said, “When every girl succeeds, every woman wins.” Adopting this powerful message as her personal mission statement, Shirley has dedicated her talents and energy to empowering girls and women by spreading knowledge. Her most ambitious effort, FA SO LA News Magazine, tells the news of women around the world.
Born and raised on a small island, Montserrat, West Indies, Shirley had a limited view of the world. But she was fortunate to be raised to learn and become whatever she wanted. Educated at Simmons College in Boston, she learned social responsibility and a commitment to the empowerment of women.
Shirley took that information back to her island home and found that she liked mentoring young girls. She has continued that work in Arizona with many projects, including The Girls Education Project and now she is reaching out to women around the world. With FA SO LA News, Shirley passes on her mother’s advice “to know” all you can. With knowledge, you can do anything.
