In my personal experience as a female athlete, there has always been a heightened expectation to prove myself.

I am so excited about this interview. I've been trying to connect with a kickass lady bartender since the start of BWH, and struggled to find the right fit until I was put in touch with Shannon.

In early December, my boss pulled me into our conference room and asked me to sit down.

Shortly after I moved to Jax, I (creepily) discovered Mara on IG a while perusing local hashtags. It wasn't until I created BWH + became more involved with the small biz community here that we met IRL at Vagaond Flea in December.

Audrey is a complete and total boss.

The good, the bad and the ugly of navigating a non-traditional university experience. 

I met Kathleen in college when I worked in tech for FSU's College of Music and we had a ton of mutual friends. She is a full-time graduate student in FSU's Music Therapy program and the full-time cafe manager at Lucky Goat (which happens to be one of my favorite coffee shops of all time, so I'm a little biased. #GoNoles.) 

I am not exactly a closet feminist. GRL PWR is a belief system I have physically tattooed into my flesh. My Instagram and Facebook accounts are littered with pictures of me waving a cardboard poster of sharpie-drawn boobies around the Capitol while marching for women’s rights.

My [digital] friendship with Maria is another product of my high school Tumblr days, where I had a circle of online Babes supporting me and my art from around the world. 

Interviewing Nellie has given me final confirmation that our Babes out in Reno are their own kind of awesome.

For the better part of my adult life, I’ve known one thing: that I wanted to own a business.

Faith and I connected through our mutual friendship with a pretty cool Babe (shoutout to Megan - who also did all of the BWH branding thus far) and when she told me she worked in the Sports industry, I couldn't wait to chat with her.

Kate Albrecht aka Mr. Kate is a freakin' renaissance woman. Raised in the Waldorf school system and as the product of two Los Angeles artists, creativity is in her blood.

Olivia and I met during college in the PR department at The Zimmerman Agency, where she took me under her wing, recognized my (sliver of) potential and made me feel like less of a useless intern.

Much like a successful stock portfolio, we live our best personal and professional lives when we diversify our time and habits. 

As a film director, writer, and illustrator, Samantha is a true storyteller. When she was referred to me by my friend Ashli, (one of the most influential women/artists in my life,) I knew she'd be a gem.
