Please Don’t Compare Your Grief to My Own

I was only 28 when my mother died. She was only 60. Unless you also lost a parent at a young age, you do NOT know how I feel. | Belle Brita

3.3 Million Women Marched. Now What?

While controversial, the Women's March was largely a success. But what do we do next? | Belle Brita

Last Saturday, between 3.3 million and 4.6 million people around the world participated in the Women’s Marches. This is possibly the largest day of demonstration in US history.

The Abortion I Almost Had

I'm not just a pro-choice feminist. I'm also someone who is currently much too sick to handle pregnancy. | Belle Brita

Note: Since I am largely co-mingling my own story within the greater story of reproductive rights, I’m using feminine words to refer to people with uteruses. However, I know that not only women can get pregnant. For more on this, check out “4 Ways to Be Gender Inclusive When Discussing Abortion.” It was Christmastime. Dan… [Read More]

Even More Reasons Why I’m a Feminist

I'm a feminist for many reasons. These are some of them. | Belle Brita

As y’all might have noticed, I no longer blog every single Friday on feminist issues. Writing a weekly post on feminism started to burn me out. However, I still plan to continue writing a few feminist blog posts every month. Plus my weekly newsletter, Friday’s The F-Word, has re-launched! 2017 is still new and shiny,… [Read More]

16 Times Women Kicked Ass in 2016

16 women who did amazing things in 2016 | Belle Brita

2016 has been a long and challenging year. From David Bowie and Alan Rickman, to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, beloved celebrities have died all year long, leaving many of us feeling unexpectedly bereft. Donald Trump somehow won the presidential election. Brock Turner raped a woman and served a measly few months in a local… [Read More]
