Our Voice. Our Art. Our Power.
SHE IS MADE...
SHE IS MADE is a Women's Network, created for Black women to use their voices to educate, heal, grow, and cultivate change. We find healing in art, self-care and poetry.
Inquisitive minds & allies are welcome.
Our Voice. Our Art. Our Power.
MADE.: Built Formed, or Shaped in a Specified Way
Explore poetic compilations that take you through the journey of love & heartbreak, sex/erotica, identity & racism, self-sabotaging behaviors, growing pains, trauma & healing, women empowerment & coming into your BADASS. "MADE." is the struggle & beauty within the culture of our blackness. It’s owning our past & planting seeds to harvest the best version of ourselves.
Linguistic Gravity: The Special Edition
Our words are one of our superpowers. It’s how we communicate. How we express ourselves. Our words can discourage or uplift, damage or heal, make us cry or laugh, dishearten or inspire, dissociate or bring us together. There’s great responsibility in the gravity of our lingua. In reading this book, I hope to connect with you and provide a safe space to FEEL. It’s okay to honor your feelings, your emotions, the hard times just as much as the good times.
Linguistic Gravity
My first publication, released in 2012. See where it all started for me.

We closed out Women's History month amplifying women's voices and expanding our tribes. We began the night with our (all women) headline performers. Then, opened space for audience members to perform. Ending the night with a business mixer: sharing projects, business ventures, future endeavors, and resources. Enjoy!
Our Voice. Our Art. Our Power.

TESTIMONIALS
“Leonora’s spirit and presence is so penetrating that you can feel her amazing vibes just being around her. Leonora's passion, creativity and true commitment to embracing, supporting and uplifting others is apparent through She is MADE, her poetry and community leadership events. Leonora is such an amazing light. Her poetry, podcasts, visuals and community events all showcase just a tiny portion of who I’ve been lucky enough to experience. Her love and passion for women, our people, our history, and our future is undeniable and is expressed in all that she does."

“Poetry could never be lost when you are reading work like this. The writer was right there with me mentally, I felt her through her words. Her writing style is very relatable, it felt like I knew her personally. She brought me into her life and the world through her creative lens. Many layers are revealed as you journey through chapters of poetry that tell an overarching theme.
If you haven't already, be sure to purchase "MADE." and "Linguistic Gravity". I cant wait for more from her.”

“I feel heard. I feel connected. I feel understood when I see the content on She is MADE. Always empowering and self-reflective! Grateful to be following this platform and I always look forward to attending She is MADE events. During She is MADE's last event I was informed on how to become a homeowner, supporting previously incardinated members of communities, policy reform, the importance of voting, and creating generational wealth. I feel the contributions to my overall growth and mental health from being in alignment with this brand and events."
