Emily Henderson
FOUNDER. ACCIDENTAL CEO. INTENTIONAL STYLIST AND WORDIEST WRITER.
Middle child (4th out of 6), 56th generation Utahnian, former Mormon, and serial monogamist (been with husband 19 years). I grew up by a creek in rural Oregon but lived in New York and then LA for 20 years now. I used to can my own tuna and I’m sensitive to being called either “albino” or “bubbly.” I like any TV show that involves teenagers almost kissing and dislike violence in a violent way. I have two small kids and two dead cats.
