emotional

fries

i made this series because i got tired of feeling like i had to downplay who i am just to be taken seriously. every time i show up to a crypto event or speak in a space that’s mostly men, people assume i don’t know what i’m talking about. or they think i’m someone’s girlfriend. like i can’t possibly belong here unless i’m toned down or neutral.

jessyfries academy is where i get to explore that. it’s part educational, part performance art. i talk about things like how femininity is treated in male-dominated spaces, how "femininity" and intelligence are always being put against each other, and how being girly can actually be a form of rebellion.

would love to get ur real life experiences feedbacks pls
welcome to the academy.

What you are, who you are, what you wear, how you speak, how you shine, none of it makes you less worthy of being heard

A beautiful and much needed initiative!🌹
