1 Girl Revolution is a multimedia enterprise that highlights the stories of world-changing woman and girls across the country. 1 Girl Revolution started as a podcast and now has become a full-fledged multimedia enterprise featuring multiple podcasts, an Emmy-nominated documentary series, thriving social media pages, and multiple avenues/mediums of storytelling to reach these stories to the optimal amount of people around the world. Kate Milligan is the “one girl” behind 1 Girl Revolution, but 1 Girl Revolution is on track to hire 2-3 more people in the coming months (by the end of the year).

Our revenue model is currently structured around grants, sponsorships, and individuals contributions. The women that we feature do not pay a penny for the promotion and publicity — and that is important to us. Our value proposition is we are telling the authentic and inspiring stories of women and girls that the media is not telling, publicizing them and promoting them, and creating the space and outlet to encourage all women to use their voice, tell their stories, and to be the 1 Girl Revolution they were created to be.
