Do you think simply sitting quietly and writing could change your life? I have been writing since the age of six, and it has been life saving for me. I know you might think that is a little dramatic, but there were times in my life that a pen and sticky note gave me an outlet to say what I was really feeling; to a boss, spouse, parent, and especially to God. When we write we subconsciously allow feelings and ideals that are waiting to be released to the world. I dare you to try it, 🫤don't be scared.🫣

I established Women That Write as a creative and safe community where women, especially those of African ancestry can connect, support, and grow together. Rooted in the African philosophies of Ubuntu—"I am because we are"— and Sankofa - "go back and fetch it," the community embraces tradition, honoring the legacy of Ubuntu and Sankofa. We are crafting our life stories to let others know the path that we have already traveled. Here, we reclaim and amplify our authentic culture voices by crafting our stories in a safe space for collaboration, learning, and lifting each other up to preserve and create our legacy while shaping our futures.
