About The OtherHood

The Founders

The Otherhood was created by Janice Diaz and Trice Turner, two friends whose lives took them across cities, cultures, and countries. What kept surfacing in those conversations was the same truth: life in the in-between is real, layered, and rarely reflected with honesty.

Our Story

We met by chance in Chicago. One of us had just arrived for a new chapter. The other was hosting a meetup that neither of us knew would matter years later. What began as a brief exchange turned into friendship, shared reinvention, and an ongoing conversation about what it means to build a life across borders.

As our lives expanded into different countries, languages, relationships, and identities, one feeling kept returning: the in-between can be beautiful, disorienting, lonely, and hard to explain. The Otherhood grew from that recognition. It is a place for women who know what it means to live between worlds and still want something that feels like home.

Meet the Founders

Trice Turner

Chicago-raised and now living and working across the pond, Trice brings warmth, candor, and a gift for connecting people across cultures. Her life abroad and instinct for honest conversation help shape the heart of The Otherhood.

Janice Diaz

Dominican Salvadoran, first-generation American born and raised in Queens, New York, and now living in Italy, Janice brings the layered perspective of a life shaped by movement, identity, and reinvention across borders.

What We Believe

Belonging is not always inherited. Sometimes it is built.
Home is not always a place you are handed. Sometimes it is something you piece together through language, people, memory, and choice.

Identity can be layered, shifting, and still fully yours.
We believe women should not have to flatten themselves to make other people comfortable. Contradiction is not confusion. It is part of being fully human.

Community should make people feel more real, not more performative.
We are not here for polished belonging or curated vulnerability. We are here for honesty, nuance, and the kind of recognition that actually lands.

Women’s stories deserve room to remain unfinished.
Not everything has a neat ending. Not every reinvention is glamorous. We believe in stories that are still becoming.
