Get to knowGXRL
GXRL is a megaphone for female voices and a community of empowered women who define our own futures. GXRL is focused on sharing women's stories and on having real conversations because we think it is through sharing our stories that we learn what is possible and make progress toward understanding one another.
We strive to share information, provide tools, and entertain and inspire each other.
We are serious about our mission, but we are able to laugh at ourselves, too.
And, we really want to hear from you. If you have a story to share, or need advice, or just want to comment about something you read in an article, heard on the podcast, or have going on in your life, drop us a line. Our inbox is always open.
