More from Support Her Sole
Support does not exist without connection – connection to your community, your creative source and yourself. In today’s world the weight on our shoulders, on women’s shoulders, to “fit in” is heavy, but through sports, fashion and creativity, women and young girls are finding the joy in being different. We want to encourage Gen-Z girls and millennial women to knock down boundaries and create their own through self-expression and being themselves.
