Keri Looijen could be the poster child for women who nurture vibrant and colorful communities. She is co-founder and editor-in-chief of True North Pin Up Magazine, a publication created to celebrate vintage beauty, diversity, and the art of storytelling through retro-inspired photography. Behind the retro fashion and red lipstick, Keri is also a mother of two and a former victim of domestic abuse. However, when Keri needed a safe space for herself and her children, she discovered that the local shelters had a waiting list. Not one to take a closed door as an answer, Keri co-founded a car show to help raise money to support women's centers. The car shows also blended perfectly with her newfound passion for Pin Up culture. In December 2019, the first edition of True North Pin Up Magazine was published. Its goal is to revolutionize and empower an entire community of women through body positivity, connection, and authentic expression of self. We invite you to come and meet Keri Looijen.
