Welcome to my Medium page!

In 2018 I started posting my journal writings about divorce and being in a marriage of domestic violence. Then I started including women’s issues and advocacy- which are my passions. I’ve been featured on Newsbreak.com, tealfeed.com, and Yourtango.com, along with several other Medium publications. My blogs have been shared across the world.

In June 2020, I started a woman’s publication called The Virago. I reached out to women writers I admired and asked them to write in my pub. I even got brave and asked many top women writers to get involved. The response was overwhelming! I gathered a group of fantastic women writers with different perspectives, and from there, The Virago was born.

In February 2021, my area was hit by an ice storm, and I was shut in for over a week with no power. Do you know what I worried about the most? Publishing my writers’ articles on The Virago!
