Whether we want to or not, we create records of
our lives everywhere we go. Phone calls, emails, even credit
card purchases can be used to pinpoint where we were
at a certain time. When we touch a door knob,
the oil from our hands leaves fingerprints, and our skin
sheds tell tale DNA. If we drive by a security camera,

our license plate can be scanned and entered into a database.
But despite all this information we're creating, storing, sorting all
of this power that we're giving the government and police,
the United States isn't getting better at solving serious crimes
like homicide. In fact, we're getting worse. Murders were solved

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
