Welcome to the fourth day of the 2020 Love Blog Challenge! Today’s prompt is Growth. Check out the announcement post for all the prompts and rules this month.

Viral Hashtag #PatientsAreNotFaking Exposes Bias in Healthcare

Woman in workout gear holds up a clipboard, text reading: Patients Are Not Faking

When I was 8 years old, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. How many times have I said this, or written this, or shared this misleadingly simple fact about my life? And yet, while it’s an easy shorthand to explain my Crohn’s journey, my diagnosis wasn’t the beginning of my story. No, my story of… [Read More]

Intent vs. Impact: The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

If you accidentally stepped on someone's foot, you would apologize. So why is it so hard to apologize for accidentally hurting someone's feelings? This article discusses the difference between intent and impact, with strategies to acknowledge the impact of our words and actions, to apologize for our mistakes, and to move on from misunderstandings. | Belle Brita

White Supremacy in America: a History Lesson for White Christians

The public showing of white supremacy in Charlottesville rightfully disturbed most Americans. However, this should only surprise anyone who has ignored American history. | Belle Brita

Like many of my fellow white Christian Americans, I’ve been horrified the last few days watching the riots in Charlottesville, Virginia. There’s something quite chilling about modern men carrying the Nazi flag. But that doesn’t compare to the act of domestic terrorism. How else would you describe someone intentionally driving a car into a crowd… [Read More]

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. Honestly, the sheer number of people willing to demonstrate their commitment to women’s rights astounds me. I feel incredibly encouraged by the success of last weekend. I… [Read More]

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]
