About Us
Meet Chemistress!
She’s got yoga hips, coffee breath, grass-stained hiking shoes, and a heart the size of Jupiter. The Chemistress is a creative force of nature: part poet, part parenting powerhouse, part accidental goat whisperer, and 100% done with society’s nonsense. She loves kids (even the sassy sticky-fingered ones), animals (even the ones that will rip her to shreds), and her mission in life is simple:
Be the person she desperately needed when she was growing up.
The News That Shook Her Inner Mama Bear
When the national abortion bans hit the news, Chemistress didn’t bust out protest signs or start Twitter feuds. Instead, she saw the real fallout on the horizon: a tsunami of kids landing in foster care with no backup plan.
Does she have a controversial opinion about your uterus? Nope. She believes people should do what they gotta do, how and when they need to. But her heart is laser-focused on one thing: the innocent souls who get caught in society’s "oopsies."
Those kids deserve better. And she's here to do her best to give it to them.
Her "Why": From Bounced Around to Breaking the Cycle
Once upon a traumatizing time, little Chemistress was 13, being passed around like a mismatched hand-me-down. Home to home to home, always searching for a place that didn’t ask her to shut up, smile, and scrub floors like the emotionally repressed Cinderella she was pretending to be.
Every time she got too curious, too loud, too real, she got the boot.
She doesn’t blame the people—trauma is contagious and nobody gave them a manual. But she learned one thing:
Being "difficult" is code for "I’m feeling big feelings and no one taught me how to process them."
So she is building the very thing she needed: a sanctuary where no one gets kicked out for having emotions.
The Mission (a.k.a. What This Organization Is Really About)
This isn’t just a project. It’s her calling, her healing, her rebellion against silence. She wants to show kids and the adults who raise them that being human isn’t a flaw. It’s the whole dang point.
She believes:
- A hug can recalibrate a soul.
- Gratitude can punch despair in the face.
- A safe space to cry, question, or scream into a pillow should be a human right.
She doesn’t see "bad kids." She sees neglected potential.
And she’s here to love the hard parts... because someone has to.
What Motherhood Taught Her
Now that she's a mom, Chemistress teaches her own kids to question everything. Even authority (respectfully, of course). Questions aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re how we grow brains, boundaries, and confidence.
She knows what it feels like to be that quiet kid who never felt smart enough to raise a hand. And she refuses to let that cycle continue.
Big Dream. Bigger Heart.
She’s not out to fix the whole world because the whole world doesn't need fixing. Big changes can come with just one kid at a time. One conversation at a time. One wild, curious soul at a time.
Because when you show a child (whether it's youth or someone's inner child) they matter, that love echoes through generations. And if we want the future to stop ghosting us emotionally, we’d better start showing up now.
If our foster systems become overcrowded:
Why we all should be anticipating the current overwhelming response we’ll endure to our foster care systems throughout the country, since Roe vs. Wade was turned over. A lot of states are without the right to abortions now and so this means a lot more of unhoused babies will be overwhelming the system. What happens then is the government will start moving the deadline for foster kids to age out. Current age is 21 in California (under AB-12) but in other states it’s 18 years old and then theses poor kids are on their own. Left to fend for themselves. Once they age out they’re homeless, turn to drugs, crime, and/or become victims of human sex trafficking schemes, ending up with mental illnesses, leading to a higher suicidal rate. I’m not political. I don’t care for the discussion whether abortions are right or wrong. I just know we need to prepare for more life less bodies and crime in the streets. I don't know about you, but I teach my children about empathy. I do not want to prepare them to get used to seeing more and more bodies on the street as we walk by like they weren't once a living and breathing human. We need to do better and make sensitivity appealing again.
How these communities will help:
This organization is to eventually fund for off the rid solar powered tiny house community bartering recreational centers for our youth, the unhoused, and for anyone who wishes to live in such a community. I want create these communities across America for others to be able to come to for guidance, safety, education, and mental health services. A lot of these people only have shelters that provide a place to sleep and/or sometimes to eat at as well.
The recreational centers that we would like to build will be more of a community that will consist of a gardens, build your own homes, create your own jobs/labors. A place where people (outside the Chemistress Cause Community) can come to support the unhoused community to make a living. The unhoused individuals can live there for free as long as they either take classes, maintain the health of their tiny homes and garden, and/or start their own business(es). For example: If an aged out foster care child comes to the recreational center for help, we will set them up with classes, therapy, a place to sleep, and food OR instead of classes they may have the option to start their business inside the Chemistress Cause community as a.. let’s say a barber! They can open up shop in our designated areas where people can come and pay for their services.
Some people don't want to work and they just want to barter or sell their home grown vegetables. That's a job too and that is fine. Those people are welcomed. Some people wish to paint and sell their art. Some wish to create a food truck biz. They can do that here.
