Since 2017, Nestlé, as well as several other companies, have been facing multiple lawsuits in regards to child labour, which have been being continually dismissed by the court. The most recent one happened this year in 2021, with 8 different former child slaves seeking justice. Only to have it thrown out in the US Supreme Court because it “was not on US soil” (yet America- as well as the Ivory Coast in Africa, where these cocoa farms are- are part of the International Labour Organization). We br...

In 1932 Shirley Temple starred in “Baby Burlesks”, a series of short films which feature her playing some very grown-up roles, but as a child. We talk about not only her roles, but also why it’s weird Hollywood would have her insinuate sex work as a toddler, as well as their weird obsession with over-sexual using children (and pre-teens as we have seen recently from Netflix) in general.

I love Billie, I’m not even gonna lie. I’ve personally been a fan of her music since she started, I haven’t listened to her much recently but her new song, “Your Power”, came on the radio on my way back from work this week and I couldn’t help myself from appreciating how beautiful it sounded. I did some research afterwards, since the hosts were talking about the back story behind it a little bit, and unfortunately it happened to be inspired by some not-so-good experiences she had as a minor in t...

Hello friends! In this episode we discuss how people’s programming from the media influences their ideals of beauty, as well as my own experience having ‘fit’ into that ideal (being thin) and being somewhat praised for it (when I shouldn’t be, since I literally am just skinny because of genetics). Don’t enforce beauty standards and realize that the best way to be beautiful is to be yourself!!

This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever had to research and record on here so far. Demi Lovato recently has been involved in some drama with a small business in LA called “The Bigg Chill” over some sugar-free cookies, dubbing the restaurant as “#DietCultureVultures” on her Instagram. Unsurprisingly, she has not gotten that much support in her heroic cause. Here’s my hot take on the incident as someone who has been recovering from an eating disorder herself for the past 4 years.

I thought we’d talk about something a little different today! I was going to interview a friend but she’s super busy, and this (LOA) plays a massive role in why I’m able to do what I do, so I thought I’d share some advice regarding it :) have a good week!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to the first episode of my podcast! I honestly just chose this topic because it was one of the ones I could really elaborate on right off the bat, so I thought, “why not do it while it’s there?” instead of putting it off and possibly forgetting some of my points. Anyways though, hope you enjoy, I’ll try to have a podcast episode out every week!
