Hello lovely humans- my name's Bonnie, I live in South Wales, in the UK and I've been writing since I was a child, mainly poetry in order to express the happenings of my inner world, and to move the sensations and thoughts which have been with me through deep childhood trauma. It wasn't until very recently, after having my first child, that I really began bringing awareness to the healing I needed, and with that came honouring myself and my gifts. This brought attention to the fact I have always wanted to be a writer - it has been the one thing in my life that's remained a constant endeavour of commitment in order to articulate, express and embody my wholeness as a human-being. I write about the deep, raw, traumatic and healing aspects of our humanness, our cycles, womanhood, and motherhood, interweaved with spiritually and embodiment of our true nature, and my story of becoming who I am.

Above all, I'm deeply passionate about holding space for womb-en throughout all of their life cycles, and motherhood. I'm a trained Hypnbirthing Teacher, a Pregnancy/postpartum teacher, and I'm in the process of putting my poetry and wisdom into a womb-en's workbook for the otherworldly seasons we ebb and flow through. I'll also be setting up a women's circle within my community soon, once the time is right.

The Female Film Club is the international membership where members strive for excellence in their mindset, skill and network founded by Liza van der Smissen and Nicole Lieberman. The intent of the Female Film Club (FFC) is to create a safe and nourishing space for female and non-binary filmmakers. From the outset, the co-founders Liza and Nicole have always believed that all filmmakers, all around the world, deserve the same access and opportunities. We believe in the excellence of women and that talent knows no borders – hence this being an international community. We also believe that the position of women in film can and should be strengthened – and women working together is an incredibly powerful coalition.

The FFC was not created to change perception but to give its members the tools to challenge their own perception. Challenging our own perception advocates change, which is facilitated in the FFC by its international community and films that reflect stories from all over the world. Challenging one’s perception is an ongoing process, and within the FFC the members are given the tools to question, explore and challenge their own limitations in order to grow. Through weekly exercises, events, and coaching sessions, flexing our minds becomes a habit and no longer a challenge. Through shared experiences and collaboration, the FFC stands to empower women to excel in their fields.
