The Secret Society stems from a personal experience of having donated my eggs to a close friend. I had watched my friend go through several heartbreaking miscarriages, and with a chance encounter, I ran into her and her husband at a coffee shop while they were mid-conversation about how hard it is to find an egg donor in Canada. It was that day that I decided to help them bring another human into this world by donating my eggs.
 

I didn’t realize what a complex world I was entering: a world of secrecy, criminalization, and ethical concern. And I learned just how hard it is to physically give your eggs. 

​

With a packed waiting room at the fertility clinic at every appointment, I also discovered that more people than I had realized were going through this. Each of these women had a story - with my experience as an egg donor and my access into this world, I had to be the one to tell it. 

​

It was important to me not just to tell the stories of the women using egg donors, but to tell the stories of the egg donors as well.
