Society Nine Episode 27: The Women's Equality Day Episode! Featuring Taylor Rae Almonte - Actress, Athlete, Activist

It's Women's Equality Day! And we have a *long* way to go to making sure this is EVERY day. Society Nine founder Lynn Le and this episode's special guest Taylor Rae Almonte deep dive into where progress has been made, but also where we still have such a long way to go - in fitness, sport, culture and society. Taylor is a Brooklyn based actor, athlete & activist. She is an NYU alumni, having graduated with honors and a double major in Drama and English & American Literature. She utilizes her unique skill set to educate, empower and amplify marginalized voices in all aspects of her life. Her unique brand of Fitness Activism —combining the mental health benefits of movement with the opportunity to educate and raise funds for social justice organizations—has been sponsored by brands such as Women’s Health Magazine, Carbon38, Popsugar and more. She has a weekly newsletter discussing this work along with a new topic every week relevant to fighting systemic oppression. As an actor and model, she's done everything from being on the Broadway National Tour of Motown the Musical, to campaigns for Olay Skincare, Benefit Cosmetics, Cole Haan and more.
