In this episode of #GUTSY, we explore relationships across love lost & mourned, love discovered & deepened, through marriage, divorce & beyond. We join extraordinary women at the movies, play Jenga, make jewelry, go bowling & listen as they share the paths they forged in love.
.@AbbyWambach & @GlennonDoyle had the perfect meet-cute at a librarian conference. Instead of trying to fulfill everyone else’s expectations for themselves, they prioritized their love and kids, and now help others do the same. ❤️
At divinity school, Rev. Whittney Ijanaten committed to leading a faith community that was inclusive of our whole selves, including her whole Black, queer self. With love and inclusivity, she now proudly and joyfully performs marriages.
.@FraidyReiss, at age 19, was forced to marry a man who threatened to kill her. It took her 15 years to get out. She founded @UnchainedAtLast to help others escape forced marriages & to challenge the laws in the 43 states where child marriage is still legal.
For decades feminist icon & journalist @GloriaSteinem has stood up for women’s rights and human rights. She’s forged a fiercely independent path, including forgoing marriage until later in life.
Widowed at 35 with six children, Michelle Neff Hernandez was unsure how to navigate and share her grief, and build a life going forward. This led her to create Camp Widow @SoaringSpirits - a program for widowed persons to grieve, celebrate life & build new friendships.
These women, and many others featured in “Gutsy Women Are Rebel Hearts,” take us on a journey to explore love in all its facets - the good, the bad, the painful.

Join us on #Gutsy as we canoe down a river, take up crocheting, and share brunch with brave women who are standing up to hate and violence around them.
Since founding @MomsDemand after the Sandy Hook tragedy, @ShannonRWatts has been battling the @NRA in gun bill hearings and on social media. She faces daily threats to her family via email, telephone and in person.
.@theestallion lives her life unapologetically - in her music, her videos, her studies and more. Expressing herself authentically has led to considerable backlash, but she’s not backing down and uses the backlash as inspiration.

.@theestallion lives her life unapologetically - whether that’s in her music, a video or while studying for her bachelor's degree. Expressing herself authentically has led to considerable backlash, but she won’t let it break her down. Instead, she uses it to fuel her art. Image
Comedian & activist @NeginFarsad uses humor to break through people's preconceptions and talk about being a Muslim American. Her family has received death threats as she’s toured the deep south with “Ask A Muslim” booths to start a dialog and promote social change. Image

Today, state leaders should be taking every opportunity to use their power to end systemic racism. It is not enough to denounce it when you have the power to end it. Oregon's AG Ellen Rosenblum @ORDOJ has the power to topple a racist law. And she must.
Following the rise of the KKK in Oregon, the state passed a law allowing convictions when 2 jurors voted "not guilty." Last year, the Supreme Court struck it down. But hundreds of people convicted previously are still in prison w/o new trials scheduled.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum acknowledged non-unanimous juries are linked to racism. But she won't - yet - topple this racist monument. Human Rights Watch calls Rosenblum’s inaction "inconsistent with international human rights standards." oregonlive.com/pacific-northw…
