Next year’s International Women’s Month post below. 

International Women’s Day from Kaylyn’s Universes Volume III

This was the first big post of Women’s History Month introducing everyone to the strongest women of my two latest stories. Not just the protagonist and friends, or good guys, all females with strong personalities.

Aubrey is an amazingly strong, independent, and funny woman who happens to be my best friend who is my most recently bond sibling.

International Women’s Month Collection: Jessicah

Throughout this interview with my creative, studious, and adventurous biological sister I got to know her a lot more.

International Women’s Month Collection: Sally W.

Again it was nice to get to know another family member better through an interview. She’s my favorite grandma because she has an adventurous spirit, a great heart, and she’s always there to listen.

International Women’s Month Collection: Anne Stenkjær

As I got closer to the animal-loving, funny, and creative Anne, I had to interview her again. We had a great time where I got to learn where her love of animals began. While doing this interview I got to learn the weights and lengths conversions from U.S. and Denmark.

International Women’s Month Collection: Tiffany H.

I got to learn about the reasoning behind her group, that I moderate for. Then we spoke a lot about the differences of health and mental health in the U.S. and Canada, and I got to learn what social services are in detail.

International Women’s Month Collection: Shaneeza A.

Originally Shaneeza wasn’t comfortable with the idea of her interview being on my blog until I shared my blog link with her, so she could see what it was about. She was always so inspiring in the writing group we are part of, that I had to interview her.

International Women’s Month Collection: Kimmie Cooper

Kimmie and I have been friends since college, but from last year till now we got closer. That’s why I decided to interview Kimmie again and learn more about her.

I got to learn about some of the gorgeous places here in New York, and where she is in her life now and where she was in her life prior to her most recent job.

International Women’s Month Collection: Kaylyn Gabbert

Throughout the International Women’s Month research, I had all the women feel free to ask me questions the way I had been interviewing them, so for the last piece of the collection I pieced this together. It was interesting to find out what everyone wanted to know about me.
