Badass Ladies You Should Know

Do what you love, what YOU love! Don’t ‘just’ follow, don’t ‘just’ learn from others, and don’t ‘just’ stay still. Once you like doing something (besides eating pizza & ice cream) do it! … Make a business out of that. Have hobbies. Change up your life so that you can do ALL of these things often. Once you own your life and live it freely, you will walk down the street and hear some chick say, “She’s a badass.” ‘Cause you do what you want! And others will take note and do the same.

Ask them about what they do! … The personal touch really does change everything. I actively try to contact friends and colleagues about what they do & why. I am inspired to support my ladies from a real place inside that can manifest as hugs, money (ha!), ‘likes,’ ‘shares,’ good vibes, prayer, word-of-mouth, a shoulder to cry on, or any other way that is needed.

Having a boy changed my perspective on gender, sexuality, feminism, and rape-culture. I have this mission to create a world where my boy can see past gender and actively reject traditional oppressive views of relationships and sexuality …  As a parent, I feel this deep responsibility to intentionally shape the world for my boy. My son could be gay, could be anything, he is capable of hurting others, can build up or tear down his loved ones, has choices to make everyday—and I need to expose him to a world of love, respect, and possibilities.
