"The mainstream media hasn’t depicted a single, fat, sexually-confident woman as anything but a tragedy; of an incomplete rosebud, waiting for man to come and fix her so she may bloom…” Bri strives to express a narrative that she does not see represented often enough…of women being happy with themselves even when they’re single, happy with their bodies even if their bodies are not represented in the mass media in a positive way. In this talk she explores how the media contributes to the problem and how women can take initiative to give the media less power.
