Hear from AREAA’s (s)heroes. Fearless women who fight for our community to impact change. Learn from herstory of courage as she faces her own individual fears boldly (and sometimes quietly),but never gives up the mission of AREAA in the work she does in and outside of the organization. A true catalyst, (s)heroes are not afraid to be afraid. SHEroes are not defined by what they survived rather they are defined by what they built after.
