our founder
RUUT
Songwriter / Author / Educator
I've lived through both success and isolation, but one thing never broke: the drive to create.
Music got me through my parents' divorce, out of a controlling system in my twenties, and into motherhood, where it's become my daughters' legacy.
I founded Making Her Mark to make one thing clear: women artists don't need permission to matter.
WOMEN'S CREATIVITY ISN'T A SIDE NOTE—IT'S A FORCE.
When women create, culture shifts and communities transform. In our first year, women showed up, not just to participate, but to build something bigger. Together, we're expanding what's possible in the arts - and we're just getting started.
