How did you find out about Feminessay?
Tiye Naeemah Cort, Founder + Global Editor-in-Chief
Why do you write?
I write to feel. I write so that others who are feeling what I feel but cannot express themselves know that I stand with them.
How would you describe your writing?
My writing is all over the place just as my feelings and emotions but always honest.
How does your work/independent project(s) connect to your writing/storytelling?
My work is completely separate from my writing. Writing& singing is my passion.
When did you realize that you should share your writing on a public platform and who/what helped you with this realization?
I remember being so broken and in such a dark place not realizing I could or would get through what I was going through. I figured other women could relate.
What made you want to share your writing through Feminessay?
Tiye approached me about it when the site was being created. I was hesitant at first then just went for it. Its been quite liberating& satisfying.
How does it feel to see your work and the feedback that it receives on Feminessay?
It's wonderful & uplifting.
What advice would you offer to encourage women to write and share their stories through Feminessay?
Sharing is caring. I've read other women's bodies of work and related in a beautiful way. These women are my sisters and we share an emotional ink that flows through each of us.
What do you love about Feminessay?
That it's a site for women but for women who look like me.
What more would you like to see from Feminessay?
I would like access to all my work on one page possibly. If that already exists then I'm not sure how to get to it.
​
Feel free to share any additional information that you would like us to include in the feature.
Thank you Feminessay for giving me a safe place to share my heart.
