Hello to all the followers, readers, supporters, fans, and lovers of literature. My name is L. Renee' Chubb, Creator, and Founder of "Women Of Knowledge & Empowerment, W.O.K.E., Author Zone and column on DemWrite Press.
​
This site is for us, by us. I wanted to create a place that was free from judgment and Oxford commas, and full of support, empowerment, and a strong network for women writers, specifically, African American women, and disenfranchised women of all races.
​
We're not big on bougie content meant to boost the author's ego, more than edify the reader. We are HUGE on creativity, passion, inspiration, and love for our craft, that we share as a familial bond. We share, we live and provide a glimpse into our world through our words. Our type of literature and unique writing styles are raw and real.
​
Because of this, we are all to often overlooked, over-critiqued, over-edited, and in extreme cases, our voices stripped from our own work completely. W.O.K.E. is the place that gives us the freedom to be our imperfectly perfect selves. While this site exclusively features the work of women, we want to inspire the men in our lives to encourage us and our craft to continue to uplift us; Celebrate us and most importantly...support us, by reading our work.
​
