Frailty Myths is a non-profit founded by a group of four diverse young women premised on a transformative idea: Every day we work to smash the myth that women are frail and weak. At Frailty Myths, we offer workshops and facilitated conversation on skills that have traditionally been dominated by men, like woodworking, climbing, and sailing. In each workshop, we re-imagine femininity head on; by building methods of empowerment and creating a space for all of our participants to discover just how empowering it is to be strong and physically challenged together. Each Frailty Myths workshop uses experiential learning and pedagogical practices steeped in both research and lived experiences to create a truly transformative program. Our skilled facilitators lead each workshop through guided conversations about the societal myths surrounding femininity, frailty, strength, and power. During each workshop we create strategies to actively dispel these myths and replace them with constructive tools to apply to day-to-day life. At Frailty Myths, we are women of color, we are queer women, and we are young women striving to change the world around us.
