Je Refuse started because I believe women deserve a place that sees them fully. Not the optimized version. Not the performing version. The complex, soft, wild, devoted version.

Every month I gather the women, books, channels, and causes that move me and I put them here.

For you.

For the women who refuse what they were told was possible or appropriate or enough.

I'm a writer and a devoted believer in real, deep connection. I made this for the women who still knock on the back of wardrobes just in case. Who find beauty in the slow and the handmade and the historical. Who are still becoming and not ashamed of it.

This is yours. Come in whenever you need it.
