How I Built a Community For Women to Support One Another
“…It’s almost needless to say that there should always be a physical component to a community. Keeping things online is just too sterile, and the best relationships are built in direct 1-1 conversations. But at the same time, the online community is absolutely vital to keep things going in between meetups.”
