Chelsie Hill - Dance Is Dance

Dancer, Chelsie Hill, could have stopped dancing at 17 when she was involved in a car accident with a drunk driver, leaving her paralyzed. However, even with her world upside down, she found joy, courage, and a way to empower other women. And such was born the Rollettes and the global movement of "Empowering Women with Disabilities to Live Boundlessly and Shift Perspectives Through Dance and Content Creation!" When Chelsie Hill isn’t seen inspiring others with dance, she can be seen staring in the Sundance Channel's award-winning TV show "Push Girls," working on the Be Boundless Campaign and the "We Can Together" campaign, and much more, please keep reading.

Cover - Jenn Lyon & The Scarlet Letter

To meet Jenn Lyon for the first time is like connecting with a friend you have known for years. Not only is she completely hilarious, but she is a real person with a huge heart. You can currently see her on the the fabulous TNT show Claws, where she plays a bad ass manicurist, who is loyal to a fault. You really have to watch the show to understand how that all makes sense together. While Jenn is excited for everyone to love the last season of Claws as much as she does, she is even more passionate about making the world a better place, especially from the eyes of a woman.

Jenn is connected to a ton of activism, and when she takes on a cause, she goes elbows deep! This might mean she is manning an eating disorder hotline, rummaging through funny looking veggies at the local food pantry, or on the ground humbly drawing signs for strangers at the Women’s March. There is no denying it, Jenn Lyon is the real deal, and it is an honor for Jejune to have her as our next cover!
