A Quote from Alycia & Marty

We started this company saying, we just wanna be seen  more in the workplace. We wanna have more opportunities. We want the bias to go away about what our abilities are.

~ Alycia Anderson

When we put in the work, we try and we do it, that’s where the magic happens.

~ Marty Anderson
