MountainGirlz
Mountaingirlz is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to demonstrate to girls on the verge of puberty—especially less-coordinated girls on the verge of puberty, like I was—that they are athletes by guiding them to the top of a mountain. The idea is to make them think in terms of what their bodies can do, not what they look like. At the moment Mountaingirlz is in a holding pattern while I try to convince people to buy my books, but watch this space for further developments as they come.
