I’ll never forget the day I came up with my idea for The Running Mermaid. I was on a run, obviously. But what may surprise you is, earlier that week my web design teacher assigned us a project to create a logo for a “fictitious brand”. In true Gennah fashion, I asked if I could […]
Being a runner is a secret I always keep to myself when meeting new people. It’s almost as if every time I share that fun fact with others, their initial reaction is the typical, “I hate running!” “That’s cool. Did I ask?” I mean, I get it. Running sucks. Even as a runner I have […]
