I am the founder and director of Sister. Nearly a decade ago, I gave a popular talk, Proposals for the Feminine Economy, that became a successful book and led me to launch Feminist Business School. In 2018, I was featured in Conscious Company magazine’s 30 World-Changing Women issue. In 2020, Sister performed in the top 6% of all women-owned businesses in the U.S.
I opened my first business, a small art gallery in Portland, Oregon, at the age of 24. Since then, I have been managing director of an arts nonprofit, partner in an online arts magazine, principal of a small interactive design studio, and head of my own creative consultancy.
In 2021, I was forced to stop working for 3 years to focus on healing full-time, after several years of being sick. I created the Feminist Flourishing Club to share my Feminist Flourishing Framework and the immense body of work I created on my healing journey, including the insights, tools, and strategies I developed along the way to get out of supremacist consciousness and into feminist flourishing.
I have a liberal arts degree in Critical Theory and Political Economy from The Evergreen State College. As an undergrad, I served as an editorial intern at Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, the esteemed feminist academic journal. I have advanced studies in small business administration, interactive design, and healing arts. I currently live in Carpinteria, California where I enjoy swimming, writing, taking photos of plants, and walking on the beach.
