What skills and interests to do you have to offer to others in the Red Tent Women's Project communty? This is your chance, so sell yourself!

Im not sure!! I want to meet other like minded mums and help out where I can - I like to cook, I like to organise but Im low on time and resources. Not selling myself very well, but those days are over ;)

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

Im not sure, but love and peace to you all :)

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

Hearing terrible stories of domestic abuse from friends, and the general attitude that they were powerless to do anything - and knowing myself in the past how I have been made to feel powerless, and never wanting to feel that way again.
