Girls Leadership Co-Founder and Executive Director Simone Marean

 

One of the traits I most admire in someone is resiliency. I really got to thinking about it as a woman and as a mom after I took a workshop called Raising Resilient Girls from Girls Leadership (http://girlsleadership.org/) co-founder and Executive Director Simone Marean (http://girlsleadership.org/about/people/simone/). She was kind enough to make time to talk with me about how social media is working positively for girls (say what?!), why it's time to retire the term "mean girls," and why the princess phase doesn't mean the end of feminism as we know it.

Hair extension goddess and doting mother Monique Hale

Monique Hale is not what you think. Unless you think she's a total badass wife, mother,and queen of a hair empire (http://iconosquare.com/extensionbarla) built on extensions. Monique gave me her vulnerable story about coming back from addiction to create the family she never had growing up, and a business she was born to dominate.
