As long as gender bias exists in society, those biases will exist in the venture world. Until we are honest about that and can have those difficult conversations, nothing will change. - @AsmauPlum, Founder of @PlumPerfect at #DianaImpactDay

I graduated HS in 2012. I served in the Marines from 2013 - 2018. I just want to go back to school and be paid for what I was told I earned. If the T. Admin. wants to slam the door in my face and the faces of 82K other veterans, then I have no problem running for office instead.
