Dafna Michaelson Jenet

Dafna Michaelson Jenet is the co-founder, president and JourneyWoman for the 50 in 52 Journey, a project for which she traveled across America to all 50 states and Washington DC, spanning the 52 weeks of 2009 to find America's problem solvers and idea generators. Through this Journey Michaelson has been sharing the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things for their communities throughout the country, with the goal of changing the mirror we use that reflects who we are as a society and thus inspiring others to action.

The project received national attention from CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, CNN as well as KUSA-TV, Denver's NBC affiliate, the Denver Post, 5280 Magazine, multiple radio stations, local news outlets and countless blog recognition, and social media for social good awards as the country became motivated by the Journey.
