Speak Now: New Opportunities to Raise Your Voice

Your story is your superpower. And no one can tell it but you.

World Pulse is your place to sound off on the issues impacting your life and your communities. This April, we’re sharing our poems for poetry month and talking about the environment, #GirlsInICTDay, and more. No matter what story you have to tell, we want to hear from you. 

Did you know that when you share your story on World Pulse, you could win a Story Award and have your story published? Every month, World Pulse editors look for fresh, new voices to amplify. You could even win a World Pulse Story Award and receive a $100 US honorarium!

Here's what we're talking about this month:
