Recently we had the privilege of bringing Kara Goucher and Lauren Fleshman to Seattle, for a photoshoot and interviews as well. These interviews with Sally touched on topics ranging from their personal running stories, to team, to marketing of women athletes. We love this story from the one and only Fleshman Flyer about the history of the “Objectify Me” poster.

Who had this up in their room in the 00’s?

“We always think we’re a little bit more ahead with feminism than we are, but the reality is we’re always going to be presented with options that are from the past, that are comfortable. We have to be the agents to help push things forward.” - Lauren Fleshman
