Only hours after the Derek Chauvin verdict, 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was shot and killed by police in Ohio after calling for help. The #ChauvinTrial was an example of accountability—not justice. Black girls and boys deserve better. #SayHerName 🎨 : @arielsinhaha

Marilyn Monroe should be remembered as the artist she was--and this hypersexualized statue of her does not reflect that. We challenge Palm Springs to find more appropriate ways to honor her memory and the true legacy of Marilyn Monroe. #MeTooMarilyn

For a #medialiteracy video - I need some good examples of TikTok challenge videos where people are doing something obviously fake (stunts, makeup). Has to be wildly visual, no audio necessary, since this is for use in a music video. Whatcha got?

Hi everyone, my deadline for the piece I'm working on for Teen Vogue was just extended. I'm still looking to speak with 1-2 film academics about the hypersexualization of Asian women in Hollywood. Please DM me if you'd like to chat! 💗 #journorequests

Selfies are a powerful thing for disabled people. It’s a way to open up the conversation about what it means to live life with a disability, but it’s also a way to take back the narrative and take up space in a society that doesn’t want to include us AT ALL... #MyBestSelfie ♿️📸
