My debut non-fiction book, I'm Just a Girl, will be published in June with Little, Brown (!!!). 

​

It is a truth universally acknowledged that boys will be boys and girls have to grow up...

 

Over the past decade, girlhood has repainted the cultural landscape pink. From Taylor Swift's The Era's Tour to Barbiemania, this nostalgia for girlhood has become a billion-dollar business, seen in the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, and the 2000s movies (and their long-awaited sequels) we watch on repeat.

 

But at a time when women's rights are being rewritten, this resurgence in girlhood is complicated. Women are caught between a genuine desire to relive the wild freedom, joy and safety found in girlhood, while facing an ever-growing pressure to hold onto their youth. The world demands women continue to look like girls, yet they are rarely given the space to actually be girls.​

With too much time on my hands, working from home throughout the pandemic, I dove back into my blog, Unexpected Adventures where I have overshared the highs and lows of my life since 2015. Blogging was always the perfect avenue for me to get back into writing, as I didn’t need to wait for anyone to let me write. There was no gatekeeping, I sat down to write, uploaded, and performed some SEO tweaks and then it would be live a few hours later.
