Summary

Women’s power and femininity are too often misunderstood and misrepresented. Emotions are seen as fragility. Feminism is seen as overly aggressive. Beauty and style are seen as vanity. As women, our femininity is part of what makes us POWERFUL. It’s time to #FlexYourFemale. Today we talk to Anna Wood, the Founder/CEO of Brains over Blonde. Brains over Blonde is a lifestyle platform for women who REFUSE to choose between femininity and success. Anna often felt pressure to choose between femininity and success while carving her path in the corporate world, but she refused to do so. She LOVES being a woman, and believes her female identity has contributed to her success. Instead of waiting around for a major societal change, she created her own lane and founded Brains over Blonde.
