Thank you for sharing Anabel Maldonado's piece on being called a female founder. I hadn't thought about it from that perspective, but it rings true - especially the part about dropping identities. Is it most important to me that I'm known as a "female" first and foremost? No. Founder? Yes, that is one of my roles, but there is so much more to me than just that label, as there is to all women. We are multi-faceted and layered and can't be summed up in word or a qualifier, nor should we want to be.
Thanks for the shout-out, Christine! I'm going to try to make a note out of your post...xo
Amazing, thank you Val.

We are so much more complex — and I love that we don’t shy away from this incredible quality. Thank you for reading.
This-so good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reading, Christina.
Loved this Christine. It made me wish Substack had a highlight feature so I could save my favorite lines.
That means so much to me, Lisa — thank you!
