In the communion of the shared creative space, where quiet ones and always-abuzz ones pull up seats at the table together, beauty happens. True stuff gets said, comes flying across the page in words that surprise even the ones who wrote them.
This is what MakeHerSpace is about: making space for women to make.
But not supper.
Not the beds.
Not another phone call,
another trip to the grocery store,
yet another appointment.
Not that kind of making.
Instead, MakeHerSpace makes space for you to make writing happen. In a noisy world, to make space for listening. To turn what blooms in your beehive mind into brightness on the page. To make mischief, creatively. To make truth and beauty as an argument against the dark.
You’re made to create.
Claim your space, and in words, with others cheering you on, come make with MakeHerSpace.
