Jillian Powers I do have a young girl and heck yeah does she need role models. Let’s be clear, she has many. But let’s also be clear, she will never have enough. As a dad I do my best and have gotten pretty good at adapting stories on the fly, to gender correct so Anaiya is the character and isn’t just reading about a character. But Emily Steel, for all her claiming, is my story. I could care less about BO’R. I care more about the conviction of doing your job, paying your dues, and not being scared off by threats or prestige or status. So yeah. Let’s do this. #iamgrateful and #iamthankful that we have added another chapter to that awesome book on Rebel Girls (thanks Ekata Doshi.)
