Hey TGs!
This month, try something for us: do everything with confidence. Take
up space, speak up, show everyone that you are a boss (you totally are).
We know it’s hard to do sometimes and it can feel a lot easier to be
quieter and smaller, but what we want for you is the belief in your own
awesomesauce, your personal brilliance, the ways you are the best version
of you that you can be. This is the #GirlBoss issue, we dedicate it to you, so
go forth and do everything #LikeABoss.
