We're Gia and Layla. And as strong women, we love to celebrate other strong women. We talk about the badass women we never learned about in history class. Some women you might know by name, but you may not know their whole story. Some women you may not have heard of at all, but have shaped the course of history. We are here to bring all these stories to you. So grab a glass of your favorite drink and celebrate the work that these amazing women have done because they f***ing did that!
