Today's Dangerous Woman is Dr. Kelsey Leonard. She represents the Shinnecock Indian Nation on the Mid-Atlantic Committee on the Ocean, which is charged with protecting America's ocean ecosystems and coastlines. As a water scholar and protector, Kelsey Leonard seeks to establish Indigenous traditions of water conservation as the foundation for international water policy-making.
Water is essential to life. Yet in the eyes of the law, it remains largely unprotected. In her powerful talk at TEDWomen, she shows why granting lakes and rivers legal "personhood" -- giving them the same legal rights as humans -- is the first step to protecting our bodies of water and fundamentally transforming how we value this vital resource.

We are loving all the girls who are stepping up and refusing to let their age silence their voice. Thank you @malalafund for your courage and for your representation of young girls across the world. There’s no time frame on when someone can become a leader and if we’re going to have an equally represented society, the voice of girls is important piece to the puzzle 💙.
