• Pep talk from Eva for all women business owners who've ever felt like their work is undervalued or like they're expected to leave their full selves at the door. We're here to say hell no to all that!
• Giana would like to acknowledge and thank all the badass stage managers she's worked with over the years, and give a little insight to non-industry folks about who's really running the show. (hint: It's a lot of unsung women.)
• Jamie revisits her November 2022 BE a Feminist about the clitoris, with a correction and new suggestion for how you can get even more interesting and expert information on the best body part.
