Our Story
'From untamed hearts rise legends' is our motto and for good reason. Think of all the legends in history and how many do you think got to where they did by doing what everyone else was doing or let negative comments affect their choices? Because I can't.
Bodacii was created by me (Megan), a first generation farmer and a lover of country music. Before farming I was actually a dancer, now I know what you're thinking, "what on earth made you go from dancing to farming?" But the truth is although I grew up in a town, there was nothing I longed for more than the country life. I used to think the only way for me to actually get into farming would be to marry a farmer, until one day I decided 'screw it, I'm going to do it myself.' And that was the day I took the bold move to follow my dream despite the noise around me telling me not to do it and I was mad!
In the beginning I found trying to get into Agriculture without coming from a farming background difficult at times, often facing negative and sexist comments along with a lack of opportunity of land available to new entrants. But if there's one thing you should know about me from the off... if someone tells me I "can't" do something, I'm the type to respond with a smile, occasional middle finger and "watch me".
But over the years, I've noticed more and more young people within the industry, especially young girls, let the negative comments affect the choices they make. I often came across comments on social media like "I'd be too scared to wear that', "you're not a real farmer if you weren't born into it" or "you can’t be a country singer if you’re from the UK". But they all had the same reason in common... people didn't like they were being different. This inspired me to create not only a clothing brand but a community that empowers people to be themselves and follow their dreams.
Our name 'Bodacii' stems from the word 'bodacious', a word that we truly think sums up our community! Bold, daring and brazen. Not to mention one of the most legendary and feared rodeo bulls of all time!
At Bodacii we don't believe in following the crowd; they say you can't do something because you're a woman? Go do it with a smile on your face! Want to wear that cowboy hat in the middle of the city? Do it with confidence! Our passion is to empower you to simply be YOU...a legend.
