#NotJustPretty
Meet The Woman Who Lead The Charge
#NotJustPretty is an exciting 3-zoom series (90 min. each) that honors artists from around the world who identify as women. This program, sponsored by Broken
Spine Arts and hosted by Karen Pierce Gonzalez is about refusing to let women’s creativity be reduced
or silenced. It's meant to amplify women's voices in all their diversity, complexity, and defiance, and to celebrate their creative creative work: poetry, art, film, and more. What they do and how they do it challenges the stories that have held
women back and offer new ways of seeing themselves and the world.
Together, they embody what #NotJustPretty stands for:
resilience, imagination, and truth. More

Phynne-Belle: I'm drawn to sharing poems that traverse distinct eras of my life, illuminating the intersecting struggles that women, particularly those in marginalized groups, face daily. 
Deborah C. Segal: Readers owe the writer nothing. I write because I must, because it feels like being alive
when I write. Stories, myths, and reflections, put on paper, give me a
sense of purpose, a calling. 
Sylvia Van Nooten: My creativity is a rebellion against cultural pressure to conform and
behave. Each piece is from my real self, allowing me to remember my
capacity for joy.
Mini Feature Heather Flescher: It was very important
to me to write accurately and authentically, out of respect for myself, my friends, and
the many trans people who share similar experiences.ZOOM 1 October 4 Open Mic: Laura Grevel, Katie Jenkins, Julie Stevens, Merril Smith, Julia Webb, Hannah Linden, Lin Hart, Eleanor Holmes, Louise Longson
