Hi!
I’m Jenn Armbrust (she/they). I’m a leader in the field of feminist entrepreneurship and the founder of Sister. I’ve been writing, speaking, and consulting on bringing feminist principles into business practices for over a decade. Since launching Feminist Business School in 2016, I’ve taught over 500 students and authored 3 books, Proposals for the Feminine Economy, The Business Birthing Handbook, and Feminist Flourishing Framework.
My work has been written about in several publications, including Forbes magazine and at least one college textbook. In 2018, I was featured in Conscious Company magazine’s 30 World-Changing Women issue.
I opened my first bootstrapped business, an art gallery, at the age of 25. Since then, I’ve been head of my own creative consultancy, principal & owner of a design studio, managing director of an arts nonprofit, and business partner in an online arts magazine.
In 2021, at the height of Sister’s success, I was forced to stop working and shutter my company for three years to focus on healing full-time, after several years of being sick. In 2024, I wrote Feminist Flourishing Framework with the conviction that what we learn through the process of healing our human bodies is essential to the feminist work of healing our social, political, and economic bodies.
I hold a degree in Critical Theory and political economy from The Evergreen State College. As an undergrad, I served as an editorial intern at Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, the esteemed feminist academic journal. I have advanced studies in small business administration, interactive design, and healing arts, and have completed several business development programs.
I am currently living on the west coast of what is, for now, the United States. I am enamored with the Pacific Ocean and spend my time tidepooling, beach combing, swimming, kayaking, small-wave surfing, and dreaming about breathing underwater.
