"We are honored to have a network of accomplished women, including Lea Michele, Lo Bosworth, and iJustine, join our inspiring movement."

"I am sharing my #ActuallySheCan story so I can help motivate and encourage all women to share their individual journeys and goals, so we can collectively help each other reach milestones. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a woman leave her mark."
