“We are that Wonder Woman/Title IX generation who were told we could have it all, be it all, do it all. We’re such achievers and we were told to lean in, but I think this is the reckoning.

That’s why the time is now. The struggle is on display. And when we are all struggling, it’s time for systemic change.” -Jennifer Siebel Newsom
