About us
Shedoesthecity started in 2007 as a blog for young women in Toronto who wanted to read about events, experiences, and perspectives (be it career, relationship or life milestones) in a voice that felt real and uncensored—not softened, sweetened, or polished. We wanted to create something authentic that challenged the status quo. We grew to become a trusted space to publish personal essays that touched on subjects that, ten years ago, weren’t being addressed in mainstream media. Addiction, sexual experimentation, body confidence, depression, infertility, racism, sexual assault, the real struggles of motherhood—women began using the platform to share their stories, and readers discovered their own personal struggles reflected back to them in an honest way. We began to understand the relationship between truth telling and vital connection, and the links between storytelling and healing. We noticed that sharing secrets that had made us feel alone or ashamed, was freeing. In 2021, we will continue doing what we do best - empowering our readers by sharing personal stories of overcoming challenges, fighting stigma, spotlighting creative talent and agents of change - with a greater focus and commitment to the arts. How can literature, film, art, music, and theatre lead the way to a brighter future? This is the question that will drive our content. We want to champion storytellers, nurture talent, and play a role in supporting and promoting Canadian arts and culture.
