Victoria Atamian Waterman is an Armenian American storyteller and speaker who draws inspiration from the quirky multigenerational, multilingual home in which she was raised with her grandparents, survivors of the Armenian Genocide. Her empowerment of today’s women and girls makes her voice ideal for telling the little-known stories of yesterday’s women leaders. Her TED Talk, “Today’s Girls are Tomorrow’s Leaders” has been seen by thousands of viewers.  When she is not writing and speaking, she is reading, puzzle-making and volunteering.  Victoria lives in Rhode Island and is enjoying this chapter of life with her husband, children, and grandchildren.  “What She Left Behind” is her first novel.
