Welcome to rukristin: Feminist Scrapbooker
Hi there! I’m Kristin, the head, heart, and hands behind rukristin: Feminist Scrapbooker, the Awesome Ladies Project community, and this newsletter: Your Story Matters. I'm here to help you to document your story in a way that works for you.
Together, we’ll embrace our creative spirit, habit, and practices while telling our stories with pictures, words, our favorite creative supplies, the bits of life we pick up along the way, and an intersectional feminist lens.

A Little More About Me
I'm Kristin, a North NJ native and current citizen of East Lansing, MI. I’m also a Rutgers alum, and the founder of The Awesome Ladies Project and the Crafty Ass Female podcast. My journey into feminist scrapbooking started as a part of my Women’s & Gender Studies 101 class, back in college, and over the years has grown into a multimedia company and an online school where feminists of all kinds learn to document their stories. When I'm not scrapbooking, I enjoy being a television snob, playing games, and tending to my plant babies.
