Ally Isom: Making Space for Female Voices

Published: May 26, 2021, 11:15 a.m.

In October 2015, President Russell M. Nelson, then-President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, issued a plea to the women of the Church: \u201cWe need your strength, your conversion, your conviction, your ability to lead, your wisdom, and your voices.\u201d Since becoming prophet, President Nelson has reiterated similar pleas and has said that the women of the Church have \u201cthe spiritual power to change the world.\u201d So, how do we make space for female voices in today\u2019s world? Ally Isom, former head of global branding for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has a few ideas.

\u201cIf it\u2019s about my errand on the Lord\u2019s behalf, then I can do it. I get all kinds of confidence and courage knowing God asked me to do this and I will do anything. I put my career and my life on the alter long ago and I will do whatever God asks me to do.\u201d
