The Indie Chicks

If you haven't checked out the Indie Chicks then you really should. It is an online magazine for women and written by women. Sure there are tons of those, but Indie Chicks is all about finding your inner spirit and doing it with style and sass. The articles are smart, edgy and relevant to the things that women deal with in their lives everyday.

Women of every age should check them out at http://theindiechicks.com/. I would be shocked if you didn't find at least one article or post that doesn't make you smile or think which is why I am very excited to be working on piece for them about the trials and tribulations of being a female writer in the sports industry.

While I wear many hats and write on a wide variety of subjects, I seem to have found my niche in sports. As a self-confessed 'tomboy,' I really don't have a problem with this though it does present its own set of challenges since sports is a predominately male field.

Sure, as Bob Dylan once sang, "the times they are a changing," however sports is still a testosterone lead medium which doesn't mean there isn't room for the ladies. It just means it is a little harder for a woman to gain a foothold and stay there.

I am excited to bring my piece to the Indie Chicks, but a little intimidated as well. I'm not sure I have found my inner badass as the magazine says, but am looking forward to trying to locate it.
