Writer Statement

I write to bring the people in my everyday life to the page—only exaggerated. I love amplifying the mundane, turning the familiar into something extraordinary, and crafting “real” characters with high-stakes motivations and deep desires.

My stories are always infused with personal connections. Whether I remain in touch with certain people or not, their names, quirks, and spirits find their way into my work. In Wo[men] Go to Jupiter, I push our modern world to its extremes, imagining how life and society might evolve three million years into the future.

This pulse-pounding dystopian sci-fi dramedy redefines feminism, gender identity, and human existence. It explores a world where genders have been separated for eons, shaping humanity’s insecurities, strengths, and limitations in ways we can only speculate. How do we navigate love, power, and survival when our fundamental relationships are rewritten? How does our environment reshape not only our bodies—our skin, our hair—but our very perception of self?

On Jupiter, men live and unknowingly sustain their numbers without any knowledge that women exist. Meanwhile, women have evolved separately, adapting to a reality where men are nothing more than a distant concept. This raises a powerful question: What does the world look like when men and women no longer share the same planet?

Through revolutionary technology, evolving beauty standards, redefined gender roles, and a deep exploration of human resilience, Wo[men] Go to Jupiter takes readers and viewers on a journey into the unknown. This isn’t just speculative fiction—it’s a reflection of where we are, where we’re headed, and the consequences of unchecked societal shifts.

This project is deeply personal to all women. It envisions a future shaped by our voices, our struggles, and our triumphs. And who better to tell this story than a team of predominantly women? This is our story. Writing it is not just our right—it’s our duty.

Beyond gender and identity, Wo[men] Go to Jupiter is a cautionary tale about environmental collapse, societal evolution, and the cyclical nature of history. The future is closer than we think, and now more than ever, this story demands to be told.
