‘Twas…a week! ICYMI: Our founder Emma wrote a lil’ something on girlboss takedowns and we also discussed this at length, live in Diem (links below). Other things we learned this week? That our community is well-sourced in SPF products, that dinner parties are 10000% better than meetings, and that friendship breakups are okay.

💻 2014: An internet feminism odyssey. The viral Kim K interview (“get your ass up and work”) encouraged us to reflect on toxic girlboss culture, born out of 2014 “internet feminism.” We discussed race and class as it applies to the limited scope of white feminism, female entrepreneurship, and of course, girlbossing.
💔 Friendship breakups. What do we need to talk through?
💋 Glossier and the BS of Girlboss takedowns. Speaking of girlbossing, Glossier just got the “takedown” treatment and we decided to talk about it. Our resident editor Taylor brought her perspective from the journalism world. Our founder Emma brought her perspective from the startup world. Other founders also joined in. It was fruitful!
