“As we announce the first Sony Alpha Female Creators In Residence, here’s a look at what it means to be an Alpha Female from some of the extraordinary women who applied. The meaning of the word Alpha is widely understood in the English language as being the first, the baddest, the strongest, and typically associated with men. We’re changing that now. We’re reclaiming the use of the word Alpha, not because it happens to be our brand, but because we believe anyone, regardless of gender, skin color, socio-economic status, and some myriad other things outside their control, can be Alpha. Anyone who is committed to being their very best, to leading the charge toward making the world a better place, to showing up and being present and lending their voices to a worthy cause, is Alpha. You can choose to be Alpha.“
