Chasing the light. Beautiful day exploring @joshuatreenps with my fam #joshuatree
Wrapping up Teenage Dating Violence Awareness Month the best way I know how, by officially kickstarting my next film project. I’m excited and terrified of this project that explores the reality and urgency of teen dating abuse and the life and death consequences that arise if we don’t take it seriously. • Girls and young women between the ages of 16-24 experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence, nearly triple the national average. Over the next few months I’ll be meeting with people from across the country to learn more about how TDV has affected their lives, and I’ll be following teens who are working hard to create change. • Thank you to the #HGB foundation for supporting this film. • • • #tdvam #teendatingviolence #teenagedatingviolence #survivor
Growing up as an athlete that happened to be a female, it drove me mad that there wasn’t more coverage of women’s sports the way there was for men’s. As a kid, I wrote letters to @sportsillustrated and @espn and to my local newspapers asking them to please spend more time reporting on women’s sports. • I went on to work for Sports Illustrated, thinking I could help change the narrative from the inside. But almost every time that I pitched a story about women’s sports it got turned down. • Now that I’m further in my career, Im forcing myself to make time for the type of stories I want to see more of. To find and tell stories of fearless athletes, who also happen to be women, for the audience I know is out there that is not represented (I am NOT the only one.) So rather than chasing household names, I’m spending my time now chasing the stories of strong young women that should be household names in the next few years. Brilliant and powerful athletes who also happen to be women. • Thanks to @dieselfilms for saying YES to this story and this series and for getting behind it 💯% First up in the “She Got Next” series is Reilyn Turner. Can’t wait for y’all to meet this warrior✌🏼
Playing sports saved my life in high school. It took me all over the world. It paid for my education. It infused itself into my identity and gave me an outlet where I was confident and I didn’t have to be nice. It introduced me to my best friends. It broke my body and at times my heart, but it was my lifeline. • • I wouldn’t be where I am today without sports. I’m thankful for those who came before me who fought for Title IX and I’m grateful to those still fighting for equality. Equal pay. Equal coverage. Equal airtime. • • So cheers to all the girls and women athletes today on National Girls and Women in Sports Day!!! • (thanks @lovenyc85 for reminding me!!!) #ngwsd #pennstatesoccer #pennstatefieldhockey #womeninsports #athletes #morethananathlete
Refreshed. Revived. Ready. • • • #hitthegroundrunning #workhardplayhard
Just out for a stroll
Confession: I’m so thankful to work in a creative field, but it means I often struggle to find separation between work and everything else. I’m pushing myself to find more creative outlets that don’t have anything to do with work. Thank you to @gooddirtla for a fun evening making a bowl and a mug. Tonight was my first night learning the pottery wheel and I can’t wait to get back. #2019mood #letthatshitgo
