Looking around and just seeing, nobody like me and that feeling of
like but ... but we already have this law why is ... why are things
not just "We flip a switch and suddenly things are equal and things
are perfect." And I think even at that time you can see I was really
grappling with this concept of, you know, there's ... the law and then
there's like the cultural acceptance around it.
And so especially being an extreme sport and being a sport where
women are extremely not that represented, not that well represented.
It really struck a chord with
me. So I wanted to talk. I wanted to talk about it.
And I wanted to increase representation even then because I knew the
power of what representation can do and of what a cultural change
can do. Sometimes you know policy influences culture, but sometimes
culture also influences policy. And so that was something that I
felt very passionate about and I still feel very passionate about.

strikes a chord, it causes people to approve of it or agree with it **
Their policy on childcare
has struck a responsive
chord with women voters.
