#hersalso

Strength of the Tides features #hersalso or #theirsalso inspirations, and sometimes shout-outs of non-watery supporters and cis-men, every week on instagram and facebook. On Wednesdays, our #hersalso or #theirsalso inspiration posts celebrate the work, passions and strengths of our peers while increasing representation of women, trans and gender queer people on the water. On (some) Fridays, our #hersalso or #theirsalso shout-out posts share the support of allies and project cheerleaders — and help us follow the tanks on their journeys around the world!

Please tell us a bit about the person you're nominating for either an inspiration or shout-out post. Remember that inspiration features are women, trans for gender queer people on the water. What kind of work do they do? How did they build a relationship with the water? What are some of their strengths (not limited to physicality)? A shout-out post is someone supportive of the project who does not spend time on the water or who is a gender that does not experience misogyny.
