Tomasine K. Jones is the author of The Woman Who Refused To Shut Up. She is a writer, mother, and truth-teller shaped by real life, not theory. Her voice was formed in spaces where strength was measured by endurance and love was often demonstrated through sacrifice rather than protection. From an early age, she learned how to observe, adapt, and survive—skills that would later require unlearning.

As a mother, Tomasine understands the quiet weight women carry: the responsibility to hold everything together while often being last on their own list. Motherhood deepened her awareness of how often women are taught to silence themselves for the sake of peace, family, and stability—and how costly that silence can be. It also strengthened her resolve to model honesty, self-respect, and emotional courage.

Her faith in God has been a constant anchor throughout her life—not as a symbol of perfection, but as a source of strength, clarity, and return. Faith carried her through seasons of confusion, heartbreak, and self-doubt, and ultimately gave her the courage to stop abandoning herself in the name of love, patience, or endurance.

The Woman Who Refused To Shut Up is her debut memoir, written from lived experience and emotional truth. It is for women who have been labeled “too emotional,” “too much,” or “difficult” for speaking honestly—and for those learning that their voice is not a liability, but a lifeline.

Today, Tomasine lives with intention, grounded in faith, motherhood, and self-trust. She believes silence may have once been necessary for survival—but it is no longer where she belongs.

She writes for women who are done disappearing.
