redrosethorns het begin as 'n aanlyn winkel wat met die hand uitgegooi kerse verkoop, wat in 2020 begin het. Ons doel was om uiteindelik 'n ruimte te skep waar ons ander kon bemagtig deur middel van opvoeding oor kwessies soos geestesgesondheid, selfversorgingspraktyke en geslag/seksualiteit. Ons glo in gelykheid en verstaan dat daar samelewingskompleksiteite is wat ons terughou en ons verdeel en deur 'n patriargale stelsel oorheers hou. Ons glo dat een manier om vorentoe te beweeg en hierdie kettings te breek, is deur opvoeding, bewustheid, selfgenesing en gemeenskap.

Met hierdie missie in gedagte, bied redrosethorns afrigtingsdienste, deur gebruik te maak van kognitiewe gedragsterapie (CBT) tegnieke om individue te leer hoe om met hul kern-self te skakel, en bied ons werkswinkels oor selfversorgingspraktyke aan om hul eiewaarde te bou. Ons bied ook publikasiegeleenthede - deur ons jaarlikse tydskrif en aanlyn joernaal - om individue aan te moedig om hul stem uit te druk. Ons stories is wat ons verbind, maar ook wat ons bemagtig om in 'n rigting te beweeg wat meer in lyn is met wie ons is, ons waardes en ons passies. Dit is hierdeur dat ons kan begin om die patriargie, een bemagtigde persoon en bemagtigde gemeenskappe op 'n slag af te breek.

In honour of International Women's Day 2023, Kirsty Anne Richards was invited by the Worshipful Company of World Traders to discuss the topic 'Women Who Change the World.' Throughout history, women have made significant strides in this endeavour, yet there remains much ground to cover. Kirsty Anne explored the nexus between bolstering one's mental well-being and fostering inclusivity across all genders as pivotal components in the march toward societal progress.

She spoke about her personal struggles with imposter syndrome, strongly influenced by society's pervasive gender double standards, and shared her triumph over these internal challenges, ultimately achieving success. Furthermore, Kirsty Anne shed light on the misconception that feminism is often framed as solely a women's issue when, in reality, patriarchal norms adversely affect all genders.
