Day 119, Missoula Rabble, Lynsey


Missoula Rabble, Lynsey and I go way back. We were rival high school newspaper editors back in the day. Now we are having lunch at the same table and we re definitely on the same page. This girl is no joke. She isn't shy and if she thinks a certain way about something you're going to hear about it. She's the definition of a strong, independent woman. "I've never known how to tone it down," she said. "I was born that way." Lynsey is the Director of Development, Outreach, and Communications at Blue Mountain Clinic. Her frank and earnest attitude can be perceived as somewhat intimidating, but it comes from a desire to unify and help others who may not have a voice like hers. "I'm not here to win fucking homecoming queen. In fact, I was never asked to prom," she said. I'm here to make it okay for women to be outspoken and assertive. It's okay to live a life of authenticity."
