Ink, Imagination, and Mentorship with Keren Taylor

The U.S. government may be shut down, but women don’t stop — and neither do our stories. As we kick off a new month on The Women’s Lounge, we're looking beyond the headlines to explore what resilience really looks like when the systems around us fail us. How do women keep moving forward in the face of uncertainty? And what can we learn from the ways they adapt, persist, and lead through it?

We’re joined this week by Keren Taylor, founder of WriteGirl, who shows how even something as simple as writing can be a powerful act of resistance. Together, we’ll explore how mentorship and storytelling help young women turn challenge into courage — and why women’s voices remain one of the most powerful forces against erasure.
