About Femme Fatale DC
FFDC is the District's womyn-only collective of local womyn creatives & entrepreneurs.

*We spell womyn with a "y" because it is a small reminder that every womyn is completely whole on their own. No romantic relationship, man or whoever, is ever needed to feel infinite love and gratitude. All the love an individual needs exists within themselves.
