ENGAGING COMMUNITY CONNECT 20 NETWORK YEARS A FUND FOR WOMEN HAS SUPPORTED AND IMPROVED THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN DANE COUNTY. SO GLAD THEY'RE HERE! THE LATEST RANTS+RAVES The feedback I have received from being BRAVA's October cover model has been nothing less than incredible. I have received more than 30 personal messages on Facebook from complete strangers thanking me for so many things—my bravery, me helping them see "normal" in my decision to be breastless, my belief that women are still beautiful with or without breasts. Friends and family have given nothing but positive feedback—and the sentiments have all been the same whether they come from men or women, ages 20 or 75. They are proud of me and my decision to do the cover and think it is a beautiful photo. Here's a direct quote from my husband Brendon: "This is such a badass photo!" Thanks BRAVA, for the incredible opportunity! It is in the top five life experiences for me! Love you ladies! –Michele Prieve Wilkinson Thank you for the fantastic piece in the October issue .
