Knot Okay Club was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2022 by multidisciplinary artist and sociologist Camryn Easley. Since then, the organization has established 5 state chapters (NYC, DMV, CHI, ATL and St Paul) and organically grown to 4,000+ members and 40,000+ supporters internationally. 

KOC members, known as "Knotty Grrlz" represent the ideological pillars of sisterhood, freedom of expression and the collective fight against gender-based violence, misogynoir,  homophobia and racism globally.
