Why italicize she?
"Dude" is typically understood to be male.

#17I have a lot of appreciation for the fact that, despite how large the company has become, it's very clear that outdoorsiness is still a big part of the REI's DNA, especially with so many companies these days owned by private equity firms that seem to be most interested in milking their brands for all they're worth.
Yeah...REI is definitely doing it right. The amount of love and loyalty the company gets from it's customers is awe inspiring.

I especially appreciate this when I visit REI as a Canadian. Our REI 'knock off' MEC (Mountain Equipment Coop) was inspired by REI, but in the last few years has diverged away from enthusiast mountain equipment and a lot more toward urban oriented fitness activities such as running, yoga and cycling.
I still like MEC, but I like how committed REI has been toward hiking, camping and more backcountry activities.
