WRAPPING A YEAR
Celebrating 10 Years of Community
Plus, Supporting More Basdassery in this World
We recently received an end-of-year donation from a young man who said he gave it “on behalf of the strongest and most badass women I know, my mom and sister.” Now that’s the kind of support we love!
It got me thinking—what a great opportunity to invite you to celebrate the most badass women in your life—or to support someone who’s on their way to becoming one.
That’s exactly what we do: empower women and community members to evolve into the most badass, next-level versions of themselves through the art of writing and the power of community.
This past year was a milestone as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary with an incredible Release Party and our first-ever Gala. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who planned, attended, donated, or sponsored these events. Your support fuels our mission and makes all of this possible.
We can’t wait to see you in the new year! Our upcoming classes and events kick off January 29—check out the details below and join us.
And if you’d like to continue supporting this transformative work, please consider donating today. Your contributions help us spread love, build community, and inspire transformation right here in Jacksonville.
Here’s to a new year full of possibility. Thank you for being part of this journey, and let’s do it all again in 2025!
