Alex is a huge fan of HelloFlo. She first fell in love with their hilarious videos and continue to strongly embrace their mission to spread shame-free information about women's bodies and health. It was Naama Bloom, HelloFlo's wise and wonderful founder, who gave her some of the best advice of my life: "Don't take no for an answer. Think of it as 'no for now.'" So it's Alex’s absolute honor to be featured in the Femspiration category of their blog!

That was one of the first times I realized the differences between women and men mattered deeply to me. It was a long time before I allowed myself to acknowledge that there are formal ways to turn that feeling into action, much less a career.
