Golda Meir ~ True Grit
“Decisions become destiny” is the North Star theme of Golda Meir’s life. As a child prodigy in principles, Golda grows up in the Midwest challenging any pressure to conform. Running away from home, leading protest parades and making soapbox speeches are all decisions that prepare Golda to leave American comforts behind and build for her people a place where Jews can live under the protection of their own country. Golda's decisions will lead to her destiny of becoming Prime Minister of Israel.
Ann Atkins reveals to her audience the heartbeat behind Golda’s words:
“Only those who dare, who have the courage to dream, can really accomplish something.”
