I’m proud to write for Evie because it’s a publication that makes space for thoughtful conversations about womanhood, culture, faith, and modern life. I write about five articles per month for the magazine in my Ask Alison column, some of which appear on their Substack, too.
Written by a dear friend I’ve known to be sharp and insightful for years — now the rest of the world gets to laugh along with us, too. She has such a way with words and knows how to say the things we're all thinking but can't quite express. Can't wait of her to write a book someday!
