I am a great researcher and perpetual student of the sacred feminine, and a gifted and inspired writer exploring it. I am also a good organizer with a wide social network, and dedicated to helping with the cause in any way I can.

What would you like other members of this community to know? About yourself, about the world...anything (try not to be profane, though)!

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

What was your "women really matter and I'm going to do something about it" moment?

My mom says I was a feminist since the age of 3, when I'd get frustrated with Miss Piggy for not owning her power.

As a kid, I made trouble in Hebrew school when I took issue with God always being referred to as a He.

My spiritual connection to the sacred feminine began when I started meditating at the age of 12.
I saw very clearly that the world we live in is based on how we see it. Ever since, I have been studying how we see the world and how we CAN see it to make more good things possible and make our lives better.
