“You have a talent that none of the rest of us have. Just find out what it is and use it. It’s doing nothing that’s the enemy.”

I knew Chloe when she was little and best friends with my sister - now she’s off doing awesome work with the 4H in Africa. This post is about her experiences documenting inequalities and sexism in the afterschool 4H program. Great work, Chloe!

“It’s not that I don’t love children, they are funny and I just love them, but I never wanted to have them. I really tried to want it at one point. I thought maybe I should. But I never convinced myself. I think some men and women just don’t have a deep urge to procreate. I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It’s my contribution to ecology.”
