I built this marketplace and community because it simply didn’t exist. For as long as I can remember, I’ve craved a space where women could connect, create, and thrive together without the constant interference of the patriarchy. A place where our talents are celebrated, our ideas are taken seriously, and our unique qualities—ADHD, autism, intuition, creativity, resilience—aren’t exploited or dismissed.
Throughout my life, I’ve met too many women who seemed determined not to work together. Nowadays, they’re called “pick mes,” but the behaviour hasn’t changed: competition disguised as friendship, using someone else’s talents for personal gain, or gaslighting someone because their brilliance is too threatening. I know what it feels like to be the black sheep—the one who sees the cracks in the system, the patterns of harm, but is told to stay quiet, to not upset the status quo. That isolation can be crushing. And yet, it also gave me clarity. It showed me exactly what was missing: a real community.
I didn’t grow up learning what a true community looked like. I didn’t witness women holding space for one another, supporting each other through failures, celebrating wins, or protecting each other from harm. I always wanted that. And when I finally found a glimpse of it, I knew I had to create it for others. I wanted women to experience the same sense of belonging, validation, and empowerment that I had been starved of for so long.
This marketplace isn’t just about selling products—it’s about reclaiming space for women in a world that constantly sidelines us. It’s about building a place where being a woman isn’t complicated by patriarchy, exploitation, or petty hierarchies. Bullying, pick-me behaviour, and cruelty are simply not tolerated here. We’ve all experienced trauma—but trauma is not an excuse to behave like feral men and harm others. Women deserve better, and together, we can create better.
I wanted a space where women could just be women. Where ambition, creativity, and authenticity aren’t punished. Where our quirks, neurodiversity, and “different wiring” aren’t liabilities, but celebrated strengths. Where we can collaborate instead of compete, lift instead of undermine, and thrive instead of surviving.
This community is for the women who have been told their voices are too loud, their perspectives too sharp, or their talents too much. It’s for the women who’ve been used, exploited, or underestimated because they dared to be themselves. It’s for the dreamers, the doers, the overlooked, the underestimated, and the unapologetically brilliant.
Ultimately, I built this marketplace and community because I wanted to create the environment I never had—but also because I wanted other women to experience it too. A place where solidarity isn’t performative, where success isn’t a zero-sum game, and where women can finally breathe, create, and exist without the weight of patriarchal nonsense on their shoulders.
Because we are powerful. Because we are brilliant. Because we deserve our own space. And, finally, because we deserve to thrive together—without compromise, without exploitation, and without apology.
