Using My Voice — Because Silence Isn’t Neutral

There are moments when running a business and living in the world stop feeling like separate things.

We are living in one of those moments.

I’ve spent years building K. Becker around a simple belief: women deserve to move through the world with autonomy, dignity, and power. The clothes are an expression of that — garments designed to support real lives, real bodies, real agency. But values don’t live only in fabric. They live in how we show up when something is at stake.

And right now, too much is at stake to stay quiet.

My Platform 

Even a small one — carries responsibility. Silence can look like neutrality, but in times like this, it becomes a form of permission. I cannot, in good conscience, promote confidence, independence, and self-possession in one breath while ignoring the forces that actively diminish, objectify, and harm women in the next.

My advocacy is not new. I have always been fiercely committed to women’s autonomy — to the right to make decisions about one’s own body, to access health care, to pursue education, and to determine when and whether to have children. These are not abstract political talking points. They are foundational conditions that allow women to build lives, families, careers, and communities on their own terms.

When Those Foundations Are Threatened

This is not a distant policy debate. It is a direct challenge to women’s freedom and personhood.

Speaking about this here is not a departure from my work — it is an extension of it. Clothing, at its best, is armor and expression. It is how we occupy space. It is how we signal confidence and intent. But the deeper work is ensuring women have the freedom to claim that space in the first place.

I know that businesses are often advised to stay neutral. To keep things “safe.” But safety without integrity isn’t safety — it’s avoidance. And I believe women deserve more than avoidance. They deserve advocacy.

This space will continue to celebrate beauty, craft, and style. But it will also make room for conversations that matter — especially when they affect women’s autonomy, dignity, and futures.

Because the goal has never been simply to dress women well. It has always been to support women in showing up fully — in their bodies, in their choices, and in their lives.

And that is worth speaking up for.

What You Can Do

If this resonates with you — if you share these values and feel the urgency of this moment — there are tangible ways to stay informed, connected, and active.

When you share these posts in your stories, you're doing more than amplifying information. You're giving the people in your orbit permission to care out loud. You're normalizing conversation. You're building the kind of community that doesn't look away.

Know your rights — and share them. Understand what protections exist in your state. Pass that knowledge along. Silence thrives on confusion.

Vote like your autonomy depends on it. Because it does. In every election — federal, state, and local.

This isn't about performing activism. It's about stepping into a future where we protect everything so many women before us fought for — and where we don't have to fight those same battles over again.
