Jensine Larsen
As a young freelance journalist covering indigenous movements and ethnic cleansing in South America and Southeast Asia, Jensine (Yen-See Nah) Larsen had a vision: to use the power of media to unleash the creative human potential of women across the globe.
�Through new media we have the power to connect and build a bold global community, to support each other�s dreams, restore our earth, heal society, and care for our children,� Larsen explains. A few years later, at age 28, Larsen began publishing her flagship project�World Pulse Magazine. Today, with her eye on the future of communications technology in the developing world, Larsen is now building an interactive global media company designed to connect women worldwide.
As a passionate social entrepreneur and leader, Larsen has organized a dedicated staff and team of professional advisors and volunteers, networks of international women�s organizations, and leading journalists from around the world, as well as endorsements from international luminaries and visionaries.
She is increasingly sought after for inspirational keynotes, current affairs lectures, and radio programs. She is featured on GreatWomenSpeakers.com and has appeared on NPR and Air America and presented keynotes at Hewlett Packard, Bioneers, Bennett College, and the Boulder Conference on World Affairs. She is considered one of Portland, Oregon�s up and coming �Young Creatives,� according to The Oregonian.
