Fierce and Ferocious

The final (?) episode of fierce and ferocious !!! I can't believe it, this show has been so amazing and I can't wait to speak to you all in September (unless I record some very low-quality episodes at home haha). 

Today we discuss how to take onboard criticism without feeling like you are losing a piece of yourself and I reflect on this academic year. 

As always, feel free to message me on socials @starryimi or email me [email protected] if you'd like to chat more!! <33 imi x 

Hey everyone!!! It's been two months since I last recorded an episode so this was long overdue. We talked about authenticity, standing in your truth, and the power of fully inhabiting your body

Let me know what your thoughts are and thank you so much for listening!! 

Reflecting on Sally Rooney's writing, and interviews with Zadie Smith, this episode is about our craft. How does writing about social dynamics change with social media? How can women push for a uniquely feminine voice? How do we strip back language to make our writing more humanistic, and less analytical? We can feel rage, shame, joy, happiness and pain through art. That's why the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistable. <3

... i am more than my body. more than a pretty face. more than someone's daughter. i am a woman and i demand autonomy. 

Love them, hate them or fear them, female villains are my favourite. We discuss the femme fatale, going against traditional notions of womanhood and powerful women in mythology perceived as a threat to men.

In this episode I play voicenotes some of my listeners kindly send in on women they admire, why some girls feel stuck in mediocrity, and advice on stepping into your full power + potential. Enjoy! And remember - stay fierce, stay ferocious. XO 

In our first episode we discuss women's safety at university, media conversations around violence against women and how sexism begins in the classroom. I reflect on messages I received from women on social media and how we can move forwards.

(trigger warning: SA) 

In this unfiltered, raw, passionate episode we talk about some topics which have been trending regarding male violence over women and abortion, the importance of differentiating between culture and religion, and my own journey with feminism. 

I definitely want to do more episodes deconstructing female sexuality in culture and religion so think of this episode as an introductory one and hopefully I'll go into greater detail in the future.
