Dinner Parties

is inspired by my mom and grandma - women who look soft and delicate, but hold a thunderstorm of strength underneath.

It all grew out of a title of a cookbook that I saw on Pinterest. It was a photo of a woman setting a dinner table, with a large cursive title at the top: Dinner Parties.

I thought it incredibly fitting to write about being a woman under the guise of a cookbook - something that was a historically sexist symbol of what women were “supposed” to do.

In true ‘never judge a book by its cover’ fashion, this is a song about strategically hiding strength behind softness.

This is girlhood.
