On July 29th, 2015 I sent an email to 2 of my GFs telling them that I wanted to start an online collective of stories written by strong independent women. It all began because I needed a lightbulb changed in my apartment and my building told me it was my responsibility to replace the bulb.

Bitch, how? I stand 5'3." Where am I supposed to get that ladder? How am I supposed to accomplish this? I can do so many things on my own, but this? BTW, I ended up asking my dad to come to SF to do a few handy chores, ladder in tow—sometimes you just need to ask for help. It was as simple as that, I just wanted to let other women know that the struggles are big and small and I see you trying, 100%. However I didn't want to solely focus on my blog, I wanted to hear the voices of other women out there.

In light of the current political landscape we live in and with so many of my fellow women hungry for a platform to speak I figured it was time to get off my ass and start. Writing is my number 1 creative outlet outside of work. I'm always torn when it comes to getting more serious about it because growth makes me fear publicity and criticism. I write for myself as a form of expression, however I exist in a small bubble in which I am comfortable creating in.

After 4 years of writing this blog (next month), I kinda need to pop that bubble. I kinda need to push myself, along with a handful of other ladies I'll be asking to contribute their talents.

I have no real idea what this is supposed to be or turn into, but it's been a long time coming. URL is real, I bought the domain & errythang. Logo & design TBD but heyyyyyyy that's what I do for a living.

EveryJane.me — coming soon

PS. No, QWAC is not going away. I still need an avenue for my ridiculous personal story telling. Forever. Ever.
