Although I had a fairly typical childhood—took ballet, played violin—I also marched for equality.

Emma Malonelord

When I was six years old, one of my moms had an accident that left her paralyzed. Doctors said she might never walk again. But she tapped into my family's pride to get back on her feet, eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom. With such powerful role models, I finished high school at the top of my class and then attended UC Davis, where I joined a sorority full of other strong women.

But as graduation approached, I began feeling like I'd been handed so much in life—a sorority girl stereotype.

Sure, I'd spent my life around inspiring women, but what had I really achieved on my own? One of my sorority sisters was studying abroad in Italy. Another was climbing Mount Everest. I needed my own adventures, my own challenge. And after meeting with an Army recruiter, I found it—a way to prove my inner strength, and maybe shatter some stereotypes along the way.
