Something shifts when women spend time in the ocean.
Underwater, Gabriella D’Cruz, marine conservationist and founder of The Good Ocean, stopped thinking about what her body looked like and started noticing what it felt like: calm and strong. The pressure to look a certain way simply falls away in the water. She sees it in other women too, this ease that the sea offers.
The same ocean led her somewhere else. In coastal Tamil Nadu, she met a community of women who harvest seaweed for a living and it changed how she saw the coast she came from. The body found peace. The work found purpose.
