This submission has a lot of meaning behind it. Kimala submitted this poem on behalf of her brother, Ej. 🩷

✨She wrote: “This poem is about my younger brother, Ej who was shot and killed here in OKC in March of 2017. We celebrated our birthdays together since they were 3 says apart. And for the longest time it was just me, my sister, my brother, and my mother who worked so damn hard her whole life. Losing Ej changed every single one of us and we have never been the same. This is as close as I could get to describe the dark hole that I fight falling into every day. And I hope it resonates with you.”

➡️➡️ To read the full poem, head to our website to view the PDF copy of Volume 4, or pick up your copy today! (Locations in the highlight reel labeled “Grab a Copy”)

📢 Exciting news! 📢

Volume 4 of the Oklahoma Women's Journal is on its way, set to release this December! 🎉

But guess what? This will be the last volume I create as the founder. 😱 I can’t even believe it. I wanted to wait to make the announcement until December, but I feel that this may push more women to submit being that this may be the last release for a while.

It has been an incredible journey owning and pouring my heart into this magazine since 2019. The Oklahoma Women's Journal has not only saved my life but has also been a source of tremendous personal growth. 🌟

For this final volume, we're going all out with submissions! We want to make it a grand celebration of the resilient and diverse voices of Oklahoma women. 🙌 So, if you have a story to share, now is the time!

But fear not, even though I'm saying goodbye, my baby will still continue.

After this one releases, I'm excited to announce that a couple of amazing women will be stepping in to carry on the legacy and nurture the Oklahoma Women's Journal. 👩‍💼👩‍💼

So there may be a few months of a break before another one will release as they maneuver through learning the ropes and creating their own way of running this machine.

🥹 Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey with me. Thank you for all the support. It’s truly been the most incredible experience.

Get ready to embrace Volume 4 with open arms, as we celebrate the power, strength, and stories of Oklahoma women. 💪✨

Xoxo,
Kyli

🥹We are completely overjoyed at all those who expressed interest in our organization and can't wait to move forward!

With the amount of responses we received, we are going to also be creating committee members.

We will be getting back to everyone within the next month. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

We are so excited for what is to come and the growth that is about to happen. We are taking Oklahoma by storm.

xoxo, OWJ 💋

It’s been such a journey beginning OWJ almost 4 years ago this coming October.

It took tremendous work to grow this idea to what it is today from absolutely nothing, and I couldn’t be more proud of this passion project I started. I’m thankful for all the creatives who have stepped in and helped along the way - knowing this was all voluntarily based. I wouldn’t have been able to make it this far without you all. 🥹👏

But with that said, it has taken about 6 months of pondering the next steps of OWJ and finally, im ready to announce I will be working on obtaining our 501c(3) status with the help of .connection.law leading me.

I’m ready to bring on a board to help me grow this baby even more! If you have been inspired in some way by the OWJ & it’s mission and think this is something you would like to be apart of, please email myself (Kyli)

🤩🤩👏👏 That’s right! We are now accepting interns!!!

It’s been a long time coming, and something I needed to critique before bringing anyone new on board. But I am so ready!!

The opportunities are endless with this publication. And we are still in the baby stages of growing - so this is the perfect time to hop on board.

We are creating a digital scrapbook of women all across Oklahoma, and we would love to have you take part. We are the first publication to do this for women on a local level. We are the first in many things. 😍🙌🙌

This is extremely important! This is the one year anniversary of roe v. Wade being overturned.

WE NEED YOUR VOICES!
Come show up OKC & represent our nation for our Day of Action July 24th @ 10:00am in front of the state Capitol.

Let’s rally for democracy together!! This has to end, we deserve our rights as women.

💫💥 We do ADs differently…

𝙎𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙗𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙮 the self-proclaimed “internet-oversharer” and a professional behavior analyst has joined the team to search OKC for the best businesses to bring to our readers.

OWJ is not like other magazines, so we’ve decided not to approach ads like other magazines. We want to showcase some of Oklahoma’s best brands by offering services, support, and testimonials from these businesses throughout our pages.

✨Our community is grass roots, our stories are from grass roots efforts and the women who lead them. Our ads should match our mission and introduce our readers to a variety of businesses that support our mission & values.

We are thrilled 🤩 to have Shelby working with us at OWJ and we would love for you to get to know her. ⤵️⤵️⤵️

You can find her on Instagram or at a LiTEBRiTE & FRiENDs event.

We are partnering with to put on a fun, casual social hour for those of you who love being able to connect & network with new humans. ⚡️🌈✨

We understand how nerve wracking it can be to meet new peeps, so that’s why we’re here to help intercede that awkwardness by being awkward together! 🥸🤓

Come grab a cocktail or mocktail (for our sober-curious friends) and come network next Tuesday from 5-7pm. 🍹

This will be a casual event and something that Jade (pump’s long-time bartender) & myself (Kyli) will be hosting. 🫶🏽👏🙌

V.1 & V.2 will also be available to pick up for those who haven’t yet been able to grab their copy!

We hope to see you there! 🤩🤩🤩

💭 Did you know when the OWJ idea was born, I stumbled across a newspaper from 1870 named 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯’𝘴 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭??!!
-
Lucy Stone, an American orator, abolitionist and suffragist, was an extremely vocal advocate of women’s rights. In 1847, Stone became the first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree. She spoke out for women's rights and against slavery.
