As a sailing novice and one of the few women interested in the sport, I envisioned a neon…

A lot of women choose to stay silent because of victim shaming, fear of embarrassment, among…

False Bravado

Keeping your frame, being “alpha,” being stoic, focusing on your mission while crushing it, spin more plates, have more options, being hard to kill, and other assorted buzzwords, slogans, and jingles are great.
