Shownotes: 

Shannon Downey is known in her business and online as Bad Ass Cross Stitch. Shannon is an artist, craftivist, community builder, and general instigator which is a word I love and we explore pretty early on. She was as passionate and engaging in this conversation as I hoped. I love that moment when you find someone to be exactly as they appear to be online.

Things we reference in our conversation: 

• Previous episode with Betsy Greer
• Badass HERstory
• Boys Will be held accountable for their actions embroidery (via Vogue press piece)
• Stone Wall was a riot

“I am a very action-oriented person, I like results, I like to do things, I like people moving with me,”
