I'm an editorial journalist and copywriter with experience working full-time at a women's media company as the sole writer. I’ve been the sole Global Editorial Manager for a dating app for almost three years - creating the content strategy and calendar, writing, commissioning and editing sex & relationships articles. I've also freelanced and written for titles including Refinery29, The Debrief and Esquire and am the Co-Editor for the feminist platform FGRLS CLUB.
Projects
- FGRLS 'Unwrap Yourself' Sex Positivity EventIn 2019, the team at FGRLS organised a sex positivity event called 'Unwrap Yourself.' We dedicated the night to questioning taboos around sex and breaking down barriers. We invited a panel of sex and wellness bloggers, influencers and authors to chat about their experiences of pleasure and what they'd like to change. We had a life drawing session from The Drawing Club London and hosted a marketplace run by female and non-binary creators. We were gifted items from Ohne, Hanx, Freda, Emily's Crisp
- FGRLS x Free Periods Period PartyWe created an event to raise money for Free Periods and increase awareness of period poverty. We hired out a space in Hackney and invited panellists to speak including the Director of Free Periods, Rukiat (a sex blogger), Karen Hobbs (a comedian and organiser from the Eve Appeal), Natalie Byrne (an illustrator and author of Period), Lynn Enright (author of Vagina: A Re-Education). Myself and my colleague Chloe hosted the night, which included a raffle and saw FGRLS readers come together to raise
