I started Single Truths as my senior project, and because it’s coming to an end this semester, I’ve been thinking a lot about how far I’ve come, and wished SO badly that I could tell 16-year-old me that things may not turn out like I hoped, but everything does work out for the best.

Every single Thanksgiving and Christmas since I was 16 years old, WITHOUT FAIL, my grandma asks me, “So, you still single? You got a boyfriend yet?”

Singleness isn’t embarrassing — it’s not a flaw, it’s simply a fact of life, and a beautiful one at that. That’s why I created Single Truths: a space for honest, unapologetic conversations and encouragement, reminding women that their worth is never measured by their relationship status.
