Emily Thorpe

Emily Thorpe is a writer and editorial assistant out of Minneapolis that earned her Bachelors in English during her 10 year stay in Texas. After struggling with Endometriosis for 14 years (and then dealing with recovery from the lap surgery to remove it), Thorpe finds comfort and understanding in writing about not only her experiences with the disease, but other #endobabes as well. When she's not interviewing people for her #WCW series or editing pieces for doyouendo.com, she can be found at concerts, drag shows, or food trucks in and around Minneapolis. If all else fails, check the airport - she's the lady with blue hair knitting while waiting for a flight.
