Tracy says 'At 26 years old I captained the yacht ‘Maiden’, with the first all-female crew to ever sail around the world. We were told we couldn’t do it, but we showed how sailing is a level playing field. Now, I’m making it my mission to advocate for girls’ education around the world.” The Maiden Factor Foundation works with communities to enable girls into education and empower and support them to remain throughout their teenage years to reach their full potential and create better futures for all. https://www.themaidenfactor.org/ Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram: twitter.com/chatabix1 www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Crunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
