I am Fire and Light

An Open Letter to Roger Goodell

Dear Roger Goodell, I think the NFL can do better to support women. Why don't you celebrate Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October?

Dear Roger Goodell, I don’t actually think you’ll read this open letter. As a 28-year-old woman, I’m not your target demographic. More than that, I feel fairly apathetic about sports in general, with a special disgust for football specifically. I’ve never attended an NFL game, nor do I ever want to do so. I could… [Read More]

Grief is Weird

My husband made this beautiful garden paver with my mom's hand prints.

Today marks 3 months since my mom died. I have no idea what stage of grief I’m in. I actually think the 5 stages (7 stages?) of grief are basically bullshit. Denial I still spend a lot of time in denial. Fully feeling the reality of my loss overwhelms me. I can only do it… [Read More]

Feminism 101: Intimate Partner Violence

What is intimate partner violence? How many Americans are affected by it? What can we do to prevent it? | Belle Brita #feminism

TW: discussion of sexual assault and physical violence, in objective and explicit terms, but not in personal or graphic terms As a feminist, I care about many issues that affect women. I care about our lack of representation both in politics and in Hollywood. I care about the objectification and commodification of female bodies. I… [Read More]

Feminism 101: Modesty Culture

In Christian Modesty Culture, women must change their clothing to prevent men for lusting after them. | Belle Brita

I touched on Modesty Culture in both my post on why I wear a bikini and in my 101 post on Purity Culture. In religious circles, Modesty Culture is a subset of Purity Culture.
