  • Crisis Centers help

    I was helped tremendously by a crisis pregnancy center. Even 3 years later and a new baby, they help with a lot of things. Planned parenthood never once offered me free diapers. Planned parenthood is evil. Why hate crisis pregnancy centers when they’re funded by donors?

  • Need to take a break.

    I think there’s too much of a push to make content these days that we’re missing the point of the show. When there are fewer episodes per week, the show has a lot more depth. With each of the mini episodes and check in episodes (don’t forget the ads), it’s losing its important voice in all the fluff. Scaling down would make for better engagement.

Female Firsts: Karimeh Abbud

Female Firsts: Karimeh Abbud

Q: What do you remember about the girl boss era? Was this something you participated in, or were you adjacent to it?
