About

I started this project shortly after the birth of my daughters. As a mother my frustration with the cultural pressures around beauty took on a new urgency. I reached out to family and friends and asked them to write about their experiences in whatever way made sense to them. I hope that these writings will offer you some strength, or wisdom, or just comfort that we are in this together. If you would like to contribute to the Atalanta Project, please go to the contact page. I look forward to hearing from you!
