Marina

Girls now are transcending barriers, exceeding expectations, and generally killing it. For so long we’ve been boxed into being a certain way, I hope the world is ready for a change, because ready or not, we’re coming!

K: What is your favourite thing about yourself?

M: My favourite thing about myself is that I have managed to teach myself to thrive in criticism rather than shy away because of it, f*** the haters.

K: Tell us a story. Have you had an experience that’s defined you or made you stronger?

M: My whole life is a story, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without everything and everyone that’s happened to me, so all I can say is that whether you were a good or bad story, THANK YOU.

K: What is one piece of advice you’d give to your younger self?

M: I would tell my younger self to stop being so afraid of failure. Everything that may seem like a failure is just a success in a different light. Stray off the beaten path and be true to yourself. Believe that not everyone’s definition of what should be is right.

K: What does being a woman mean to you?

M: Being a woman to me means being powerful & fearless.

K: Who is one woman that inspires you? What would you say to her if she were here now?

M: There is no one woman in particular that I admire. From 5 year olds to pro athletes, girls now are transcending barriers, exceeding expectations, and generally killing it. For so long we’ve been boxed into being a certain way, I hope the world is ready for a change, because ready or not, we’re coming!
