Do you think there are professions women should not do?

I ran into Katie at a wine tasting event and decided to ask her about her profession as a teacher.

Highlights from Katie's interview:

1. women do not naturally gain as much respect automatically in certain professions such as being a cop.

2. our society does a huge disservice for girls' self confidence.

-our society, through media, perpetuates this perception to be perfect which starts even in 2nd grade.

-this is more of a girl problem because there is more pressure for girls in our society to maintain body image

-Killing Me Softly Documentary

3. every girl living in america feels this pressure

4. different rates of growth (ex; katie being smaller than other kids) are treated like a concern, which can mess with a kids' self confidence growing up

Favorite quote: "...everyone does not have to look the same, and there's beauty in that, and there's beauty in being unique..."

Thanks Katie for a great interview!
