If you never read another newsletter from me, that's okay—but please, read this one.
I am coming to you asking for help, not for me, but for a dear friend.
This is not just about a sweatshirt. It's about what it represents—solidarity, love, and the unwavering power of sisterhood. The Sisterhood Is Sacred crewneck was created to support one of my dear sister-friends, a woman who has shown resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship. She is navigating a divorce, freeing herself from the grip of narcissistic abuse, and reclaiming her peace after years of emotional manipulation. It is not an easy road, but she is walking it with courage—for herself and her children.
As her friend, I have done everything I can to support her and will continue to do so. But the reality is she needs more. She is a single working mother doing her best to make ends meet, and the weight of rebuilding a life from scratch is heavy. No one should have to carry that burden alone. This is where I need you, my community, to help and rally around her.
Every purchase of the S.I.S crewneck is more than a financial contribution—it is an act of love, a lifeline that helps ensure she and her children have their basic needs met. Your support can help her get temporary safe housing, transportation, food, diapers, and water. As she transitions into this new chapter, community support will be light in their lives, sending the message that she is seen, loved, and, most of all, not alone.
If you feel called to help, please buy a sweatshirt. If purchasing one isn't possible, sharing this message is just as valuable. You can spread the word by directing people to the purchase link. If you don't want another thing in your closet, I absolutely understand. Another option is donating here (ANY AMOUNT helps—yes, even $1), and I will make sure she gets your gift.
I was hesitant to share this. All of my community work, volunteer efforts, and advocacy happen offline, in real life, and in private. Sharing something so personal here feels vulnerable and tender—but with my friend's blessing, I'm doing it.
My priority is to protect her and her children while also offering her even the smallest sliver of peace. I've never reached out to my community like this before. Asking for help can be uncomfortable for so many of us, but I also know that this community—both near and far—is incredibly generous.
You all know that community care is not just a concept for me—it's an action. When we show up for one another, we create ripples of hope and healing that reach far beyond what we can see. With your help, we can remind my sis that she is held and cared for and that no woman has to start over alone.
Thank you for reading. Please send your thoughts, prayers, and good wishes her way. And more than anything, thank you for showing up in whatever capacity you can.

Thank you all so much. Truly! My friend is beyond grateful. Your outpouring of support is deeply appreciated. As of this comment, we have sold 128 sweatshirts and have countless donations rolling in through PayPal. I am floored. Thank you is not enough. Every kind word I am passing along to her. She sends her love!
This is SOul BEaUtiful 🥹♾️❤️🔥🙏
