So glad to hear that my idea for a #DirectedbyWomen Worldwide Film Viewing Party has inspired people to prioritize films by women directors over the course of this past decade! There really are SO many amazing options to choose from and more continue to be made.

There are many paths in life and not all must lead to childbearing Women are not defined by our capacity or desire to bear children Child free is a wonderful life Not everyone wants to have kids. We should celebrate those who chose not to, as well as empathising with those who couldn't have kids

A wonderful thing about “Barren” is the connections I’ve made, such as the NoMo Bookclub. NoMo is a term coined by childless advocate Jody Day for Non-mother. I have valued the sense of belonging and of feeling heard as a NoMo.
