My experience with WE DON’T SETTLE has benefited me in ways that I could never have imagined. I have made so many connections (some personal, some professional) that have opened me up to so much knowledge and joy. Working with the organisation has also opened me up to far more opportunities than I originally had access to.

Through poetry, we discover that our joys and sorrows are shared across the human race and therefore we are not alone.

I want people to see that divine feminity doesn't mean a woman who is wearing makeup or fully glammed up or is a size 6. In recent media, that is all that divine feminine is being depicted. I want this to empower woman no matter what their looks are based on.
