I had the honor of being raised by OBOS—the women, not the book—though the two are inextricably intertwined.
This Collective of amazing women, and the people who supported them, shaped my childhood in ways that words could not describe. I am the person I am today in great part thanks to their role-modeling, advice, support, and knowledge.
Thank you to the women of OBOS for giving yourselves so generously to me and the world!
