FEATURED BADASSES

There are so many badass women!

​

One of the goals of this project is to particularly lift up badass women of color and queer women who have not traditionally been recognized for their badassery-- or who have been marginalized specifically because they are women of color.

​

The artist is always open to recommendations for badasses to feature in this curated project, keeping the above goal in mind.

​
