It started with just four girls who went to the AGAG National Conference together, planning, supporting, dreaming and encouraging each other along the way. I don’t think any of us really knew what we were building yet. We just knew how good it felt to have other women beside us while we figured it out.
Somewhere along the way, that little group became something much bigger.
Today, She Is | Collective has grown to 106 women.
And more than anything, I think that growth has shown me just how much of a hunger there is for this. Women want a place to belong. They want to be able to step into the fi****ms world, sometimes for the very first time, and be met with warm, open arms instead of feeling like they have to prove they deserve to be there.
They want women who will answer the questions they think are stupid, invite them to the range, celebrate the first time they hit the target, encourage them to sign up for the class or the competition they don’t think they’re ready for, and remind them that none of us started out knowing what the hell we were doing.
And honestly, that’s the part I love most.
Because this was never supposed to be about creating a group of women who already have it all figured out. It was intended to be a place where women can learn, try, fail, grow, get stronger and discover what they’re capable of together.
There is a hunger for community, but there is also this incredible fire in these women. I see it every time someone asks about her first class, buys her first firearm, signs up for something that scares her, comes to an event alone, or turns around and reaches her hand back to encourage the woman coming in behind her.
That’s what I want She Is to continue becoming.
A place where you don’t have to wonder if you belong. You don’t have to be experienced enough, strong enough, confident enough or anything else enough before you walk through the door.
You just have to show up. We’ll meet you there.
Four girls went to a conference with a whole lot of ideas.
Now there are 106 of us.
I cannot wait to see what we build next.
