This is an exceptionally good and important article as was the podcast and as Mina Guli is as a person, athlete and water advocate.

Her passion for water is palpable in each story she tells and her vast knowledge of this extremely critical subject.

The final quote in your excellent article was also my favorite and expresses in a nutshell both Mina’s and your dedication to the importance of water to everyone in the world. “We need to recognize that we can't continue to treat water as if it's nothing because it's everything."

As you stated this is the most important water conference in 50 years and the hopes of millions ride on the outcome of the UN 2023 Water Conference. Best wishes for a resounding success.

Mina’s story is one of total commitment, sacrifice and courage in advocating for water for all inhabitants of the 🌍; she is quite remarkably educated in all aspects having seen first hand the global impacts of water 💦 misused and wasted, absence of planning as many people simply assumed it would always be here at the turn of a faucet. She is visionary in her approach, now with collaborators internationally. She is the face of water, it’s history, it’s present and it’s future. I am so pleased her work has been valued, shared and that she will serve as an invaluable resource at the water conference at the UN in coming days. She is now the icon for water as well she should be given her efforts in bringing the attention of the world to the water crisis. We have been to some extent aware but she has actually VISUALIZED the impacts of water shortage worldwide; who else can make that claim? Best wishes to both of you as you seek and evaluate solutions to this crisis in the days to come.

Loved the podcast. Mina is such an inspiration. Signed up for the World Water Run - I will be walking though. I'll probably talk more about water in my next two podcasts (we already talked about fast fashion & clothes in relation to water needed). Mina has definitely inspired me to also write about water. I'll be walking along rivers for the Word Water Run - there will be stories to tell. Thanks for having her on your podcast and good luck to both of you in New York.
