The amount of views, vs the amount of likes just goes to show how badly we really need to have this conversation. Thanks Meggie

There are seasons when your greatest achievement is simply refusing to give up on yourself, even when nothing around you seems to be improving.

This talk was so insightful. I especially admire when someone admits their faults and takes accountability instead of just showing how perfect they are. Accountability and imperfections are what bring us closer. Also this lady is a terrific speaker

This isn't really about gendered violence, as much as it's about masculine violence and competition <br><br><br>We're not really talking about the nature of violence being gendered at all
