Congratulating @monasinha.bsky.social on her induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
The inclusion of Mona Sinha in the National Women's Hall of Fame is a well-earned honor.

Mona is recognized, known, and celebrated by people around the world.

Yet she is mostly unknown by those whose lives she has saved, transformed, supported.

She has lessened suffering where she could not yet find a way to end it.

Her leadership is legendary.Her influence is immeasurable.

She is generous with her time, her worldly goods, her listening ear.

Future generations will know Mona Sinha’s works because of her induction in the Women’s Hall of Fame.

We at the Harnisch Foundation salute this occasion with love and respect.

—Ruth Ann Harnisch

She never wanted to be a singular leader on a worshipful pedestal. She knew the power is in building and encouraging leaders everywhere, leading in an infinite variety of ways with a common purpose of liberty and justice for all.
