Founder's Talk
Far too often, I've engaged in conversations with accomplished women who share a common narrative - growing up without the presence of a feminine figure in their household. The consequences are profound, as these women often find themselves silently navigating a sea of emotions, grappling with unexpressed feelings that manifest as nightly struggles with depression.
Michelle, 34, Philadelphia, Crying in H-Mart
"Let me feel this, I wanted to scream, hold me... I thought to myself, that if I ever have children, I would never tell them to save their tears."
Elizabeth, 28, Instagram influencer with 15k followers
“When my boyfriend told me he wanted to be in a relationship with me, I booked a ticket back to my hometown immediately and escaped. I thought to myself, I don't deserve this.” "I have been seeing therapists on and off. I wish something like this (familia app) exists."
Janet, 25, software engineer
Janet's parents escaped Vietnam war through a boat and built the entire family from ground up in America as a working-class family. She grew up feeling guilty to treat herself. “What I made in the Bay Area compares to what my parents make in Michigan is huge.”

The moment the airplane touched down at San Francisco International Airport, I started to wonder when all of this will come to an end. It was the fifth time I had introduced a guy to my family, only to discover later that we were entirely incompatible. I found myself questioning: Does finding a lifetime partner truly equate to eternal happiness? The answer is no. I indeed very much enjoy traveling by myself, and I know how to deal with loneliness quite well. I have a good relationship with myself. I regain my energy through exploring a new kind of culture, a new neighborhood and learning a new kind of language. So, what compelled me to pursue a lifetime partner so fervently? It was the weight of my parents' expectations, coupled with the fear of being left behind if my friends all embarked on the journey of marriage without me. After a month of nomadic exploration in Italy, meeting many new female friends, I started to realize I was happy, My emotional needs were fulfilled. This makes me think, what if every single lady also has an awesome community wherever they live to support them? Often times people mix up their need to have companionship with longing for a relationship, and end up rushing into a relationship they later find out not a great fit. Therefore, I started to host this community, with only one wish, my beloved single ladies, no longer feel the need to be stuck in a toxic relationship, rather there is a community behind them they can hang out with, they can trust, high quality of female community, where they can gain more symmetric information for their potential love interest. Here to help single females stop wasting their time wondering what is going on on the other side of the road and struggling with relationship. Women support wonmen, and we all become stronger.
