WEEK 5 RECAP:
At Sail Her Dreams, we dove into water justice, community infrastructure, and systems design with the incredible Danielle Gallet—urban strategist, water visionary, and founder of Waterwell. (Session 5, July 21-24).
Danielle guided our girls through a deep exploration of how water systems work (and don’t work) in cities like Chicago—and how we can design better, more just solutions. From mapping watershed flows to prototyping resilient neighborhoods, our sailors became planners, designers, and changemakers.
This was a powerful week of learning how equity and sustainability go hand-in-hand—and that they can be part of building a better future. The girls loved hosting Danielle on their Podcast shows.
