Konsènan redrosethorns
redrosethorns te kòmanse kòm yon magazen sou entènèt vann bouji men-vide, kòmanse nan 2020. Objektif nou se evantyèlman kreye yon espas kote nou te kapab bay lòt moun pouvwa atravè edikasyon sou pwoblèm tankou sante mantal, pratik swen pwòp tèt ou, ak sèks/seksyalite. Nou kwè nan egalite epi nou konprann ke gen konpleksite sosyete ki kenbe nou tounen epi kenbe nou divize ak domine pa yon sistèm patriyakal. Nou kwè ke yon fason pou avanse pou pi devan epi kraze chenn sa yo, se atravè edikasyon, konsyantizasyon, oto-gerizon, ak kominote.
Avèk misyon sa a nan tèt ou, redrosethorns ofri sèvis antrenè, lè l sèvi avèk teknik terapi kognitif konpòtman (CBT) pou anseye moun ki jan yo konekte ak pwòp tèt yo debaz yo, epi nou ofri atelye sou pratik swen pwòp tèt ou yo bati valè pwòp tèt yo. Nou ofri tou opòtinite piblikasyon - atravè magazin anyèl nou an ak jounal sou entènèt - pou ankouraje moun yo pale ak eksprime vwa yo. Istwa nou yo se sa ki konekte nou, men tou, sa ki pèmèt nou avanse nan yon direksyon ki pi anfòm ak ki moun nou ye, valè nou yo, ak pasyon nou yo. Se atravè sa a ke nou ka kòmanse demonte patriyachi a, yon sèl moun otorize, ak kominote otorize yo alafwa.

Goodenough College and the Worshipful Company of World Traders host International Women's Day 2023
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.
