Woman Crush Wednesday: Megan Slattery

Every hump day a Philly person shares their local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday. Today, Megan Slattery, development assistant at Women Against Abuse, a local nonprofit that seeks use advocacy and community education to put a nix on domestic violence. 

Megan Slattery

My name is Megan Slattery. Please allow me to introduce some of Philadelphia's most influential, committed, and crush-worthy people I have been privileged to have in my life.

Natasha Wirth

A medical case manager for the Mazzoni Center and a powerful spirit. I met this fierce derby skater at Penn Jersey Roller Derby. She's brilliant, exciting, and one of the most kind-hearted people I have been lucky to get to know.

Dave Carter

Danielle Renzulli

Discovering the gem that is 12 Steps Down in Philadelphia, my very own Cheers, made this city worth my stay. Discovering that its owner is a beautiful, derby-fierce, self-made success stole my heart. With such a vibrant, charismatic woman pouring your drinks you'll find it difficult to walk away from her bar without a warm heart.

Kay Cohen

Not only do they have a fantastic energy and kind soul, they also inspire me with their dedication. Despite being a core member of Philly Survivor Support Collective, a challenging internship at Philadelphia FIGHT’s Youth Health Empowerment Project (Y-HEP), and getting their dual Masters in social work and human sexuality education, they always make time for the people they care about. With their fiery spirit, thoughtful personality, and easy humor I just can't help but swoon a little.

Kate Kozeniewski

One of the most vibrant, intelligently hilarious women I know. With a lust for life that is admirable, she is driven, adventurous and altruistic. When she is not social-working to get people access to healthcare she can be found joining Put People First, a group working to bring universal healthcare to Pennsylvania. The city is lucky to have her and I feel honored to call her my friend.

Azucena Ugarte

From my very first day meeting this amazingly intelligent, charismatic woman my intelligence-crush heart was stolen. As the director of education and training at Women Against Abuse, her passion extends far beyond just educating Philadelphians on intimate partner violence as she works to insure all domestic-violence services are safe and affirming places for the LGBTQ+ community.
