Harness empowers me as a woman because it is a platform for me to grow and share with other great women.
Harness empowers me as a woman by reminding me that I’m not alone. It’s so easy to feel like no one understands but Harness shares the most wonderful stories written by amazing women to show us that our feelings are normal and it’s ok to want to be heard. Pain is not singular and happiness is in all of us.

I love what Harness has given to the community. They’ve provided an open forum for discussion, but most important Harness gave ME THE PERMISSION TO SEE MYSELF AS thinker and a writer.. and that has changed everything for me.

I’m a Los Angeles based writer and poet who finds inspiration in strong and intelligent women. Writing is how I make sense of my raw and wild emotions. It’s my escape and savior. It has taught me that there is power in words so that I can live my life unapologetically and on my own terms. I hope that my work inspires my peers and young girls to look within and realize that no one can stop you but you.

There are so many layers to who I am but the best way to articulate the basic layers of the dimpled-face woman I am is loving and passionate. No matter what I do, no matter who the person is or the role that they play in my life, I am loving and passionate.
As a young girl l have always loved the idea of expressing my thoughts onto paper and carving them into a story to be told in my own unique and creative way.

My focus is poetry, prose, and nonfiction. I´m passionate about film photography, grief, metal health, and anything else that inspires me to feel alive and grow. HARNESS empowers me because it illustrates hope, confidence, and the messy parts of being human!

I enjoy stories about people. People like you and me. Life has an extraordinary way of teaching us who we are, why we are here, and what we can become. HARNESS is an incredible way for writers to connect with others. United we can transform our stories into powerful tools for others to utilize and become more of themselves.

Right now I am learning how to be patient with myself. My process and balancing all of the things. I want to create practices that maximize my potential without pulling all of my energy down. I feel strong + confident knowing that I am capable of taking control and designing the life I want to live. Writing my thoughts and ideas out allows me the space to put it all into writing , declare power and start living the life I desire! I am strong!

One of my favorite things to write about is the struggle of being an emerging writer. Balancing a 40 hour job and finding time to write can be a challenge but I have a passion for writing and strive to make time for it.
