‘The Mindy Project’ followed Mindy Lahiri, played by Kailing. She’s an Indian-American doctor. She’s delusionally confident, unapologetically selfish, and romantic, and has a wild love and appreciation for fashion, gossip, and romantic comedies. She’s well known for her strong sense of self and unwavering belief in her own choices, even when they’re questionable. A romantic at heart and a seeker for love, she’s a firm believer in happily ever afters, often seeking them out in her personal life. Mindy’s character is often portrayed as self-centered and focused on her own desires, sometimes to the detriment of others. But she’s also a giver when she wants to be. She has a lot of flaw in her, and nevertheless, she’s generally portrayed as a warm and friendly person, capable of forming strong relationships. She has a lively and energetic personality. Her friends love her for it. We’re introduced to Mindy as she’s on a quest to finding the true love of her life just like the main character does in every rom-com movie. We’re here to challenge the notion that ‘The Mindy Project’ was ever about Mindy finding her happily-ever-after. We do so by breaking down Mindy Lahiri’s character growth throughout the entire 6 seasons. We do so by analyzing her marriage to Ben, why exactly she married him, as well as why exactly the marriage didn’t work. We do so by exploring Mindy’s growth as a single working mom. And finally, we do so by explaining what exactly the ending of the show, which has Mindy getting back together with Danny, meant for her as a character. Let’s discuss…
Kate Middleton: How She Unintentionally Became The Face Of Women Battling Cancer – And Everything It Has To Do With Women Facing An Epilepsy Diagnosis
Kate Middleton shocked the world when, in March 2024, she announced to the world her cancer diagnosis and that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy. By January of 2025, her cancer was clear, and she was officially in remission. In between, she was still making public appearances and was shown being there for her children. Princess Kate’s cancer battle was significant because it highlighted the universality of cancer, regardless of status, and underscores the importance of awareness, early screening, and compassionate care for all those affected, while also showcasing the strength and resilience of a public figure, especially a fake public figure, facing a difficult challenge. She somehow became the unintentional face of cancer. Here, we break down the year 2024 and everything the royal family had gone through during that time, including King Charles’ own battle with cancer, and excluding anything related to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. We explore what Kate Middleton’s battle with cancer means to women everywhere. And finally, we explain what her cancer diagnosis has to do with an epilepsy diagnosis. We also analyze what one can do to better manage and control their illness, no matter what the diagnosis might be. Let’s discuss…
Meghan (Markle) Sussex: When Inauthenticity, Playing The Victim, And Fake Attribution Is Your Business Brand, But Then You Get Caught Up In Your Lies – And How To Overcome All The Hate From Everyone
Meghan Markle…what can we say about Meghan Markle? Or she likes to call herself now, Meghan Sussex. Meghan (Markle) Sussex is a former actress, former royal, wife, mother, entrepreneur and a lifestyle guru. I’d also say that she’s a Princess Diana wannabe. She starred in ‘Suits’ for 7 seasons, as well as a few Hallmark movies such as ‘2014’s ‘When Sparks Fly’ and 2016’s ‘Dater’s Handbook’. She also was a blogger, with her own lifestyle brand, The Tig, which she started in 2014. She gave everything up in 2017 once her relationship with Prince Harry became more serious and the two got engaged. She quit all her life’s work to be with him. When Meghan and Harry left their royal duties, they insisted that it was for privacy reasons. I’m here to challenge that notion. Here, we break down Meghan’s entire life and career ‘before, during, and after’…, we analyze her newest show, ‘With Love, Meghan’, and explain why it’s only now that her inauthenticity is only now being explored, and we try to understand the side of Thomas Markle, her father, as well as the royals’. And then, we explain why Meghan will NEVER be Princess Diana, no matter how much she tries. Let’s discuss…
Francesca Farago: A Deep Exploration On Why Her Sharing Her Story And Family Life With Jesse Sullivan Is So Important – And Why We Need To Ask Ourselves Whether Or Not Love Is Homophobic And Transphobic
Francesca Farago got her big break in the public eye when she appeared in the very first season of ‘Too Hot To Handle’ in 2020. While there, she became a romantic partner figure with fellow contestant Harry Jowsey. The two had a whirlwind on-and-off romance for about two years, which ended mostly because the Covid-19 pandemic caused them to become a long-distance couple for much longer than they anticipated, which they couldn’t handle. Francesca then made an appearance on ‘Love Is Blind’ season 1 After The Alter segment. She was invited to the reunion by Damian Powers, who was engaged to Giannina Gibelli. Damian initially left Giannina at the alter, but they’d decided to continue their relationship thereafter. Francesca went on to star on ‘Perfect Match’, which saw her peruse a relationship with Damian, and then breaking up with him after making the bold realization that he didn’t actually know the real her. Since her time on reality TV 5 years ago, Francesca became a business owner, got engaged to the love of her life, Jesse Sullivan, and had children of her own. But there’s a catch: Jesse is a trans man. Here, we break down Francesca and Jesse’s entire relationship from beginning to now, we bring an emphasis on why them sharing their story on social media is so important, and we explore Francesca’s business endeavours and what makes her so unique and so much more successful than any other reality star. Let’s discuss…
Bianca And Jarbas: How Their Love Story On ‘Love Is Blind Brazil’ Redefined An Interabled Love Story – And Why More Stories Such As Theirs Need To Be Represented In Media
For a show that formed by the concept where people fall in love without visual cues, and one that aims to raise awareness on complex issues such as disability, particularly when discussing potential future children and societal attitudes towards individuals with disabilities, it failed to do just that. The show’s premise of forming relationships without seeing each other’s faces can be seen as a way to challenge societal biases and focus on character and connection, which could be beneficial for people with disabilities. There’s a big problem in it, and it’s that there’s a huge lack of that representation. More so, there was a lack of representation on dating as a physically disabled person. ‘Love Is Blind Brazil’ is the only version of the entire franchise to feature such an interabled couple, and that was bianca and Jarbas from season 3. They have since separated after a few years of marriage, but that had nothing to do with disability. Here, we break down the history of the treatment towards people with disability and why they were deemed unworthy, we explore what it has to do with dating as a disabled person, and we explain the pros and cons of seeing disability be represented on TV. But most importantly, we analyze why more such as theirs need to be represented in media – instead of the representation of disabled love seen on ‘Love On The Spectrum. Let’s discuss….
Nour El Haj: An In-Depth Analysis Of Women Like Her Are Treated In The Arab World – And How Arabic Men View Confident Women Such As Her
Perhaps the most popular contestant on ‘Love Is Blind, Habibi’ was Nour El Haj. She’s a woman who knows what she wants and won’t settle for anything less. Her most memorable line was, ‘I don’t do coffee dates, I don’t do walking dates, i don’t do last minutes dates.’ But does she even look like she does those things in the first place? This is a woman who’s constantly misjudged by the Arab community because of her beauty. Particularly, for caring for her appearance. I’m here to tell you that there’s all absolutely, 100% wrong. I’m here to tell you that Nour was a misunderstood ‘character’ on the show, and I’m here to prove that she was actually the most intriguing person out of all of the contestants combined. I do so by breaking down the Arabic culture as a whole. I do so by exploring Arabic men and how they view women such as Nour, and women in general by analyzing Karma and Ammar’s history and what it has to do with Nour. And I do so by explaining Nour’s characteristics as a woman living in the Arab world. I also prove how, throughout the entire season, the entire run of the first season, Nour showed class, elegance, and grace. And dare I say that I hope to have the level of confidence that she has myself. Let’s discuss…
Love Is Blind Japan: The Exploration Of The Modern Definition Of A Woman ‘Having It All’ – And Exactly What Culture Has To Do With Defining Womanhood In A Society That Aims To Shame Women
A woman ‘having it all’. It was a phrase that The phrase that became popularized in the 1980’s by Helen Gurley Brown, the former editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, who popularized the idea and coined the title of her 1982 book, ‘Having It All: Love, Success, Sex, Money . . . Even You’re Starting With Nothing.’ The phrase gained popularity during a time when women were increasingly entering the workforce and challenging traditional gender roles. While the phrase initially resonated with many, it has since faced criticism for potentially placing undue pressure on women to achieve an unattainable standard of success and fulfillment. Brown, a prominent figure in women’s magazines, used the phrase ‘having it all’ to promote the idea that women could achieve success in both their personal and professional lives, despite societal expectations. Her book further cemented the phrase in popular culture, suggesting that women could have careers, relationships, and a fulfilling personal life. Now, in the modern world, the idea of a woman ‘having it all’ is changing. It’s not necessarily based on society’s standards, but is set by how a woman defines it as an individual. Here, we particularly redefine this notion based on the Japanese version of ‘Love Is Blind’. We break down each couple on the show. We analyze the female contestants. We explore the definition of love. And we explain why it was actually SO IMPORTANT for Japan to make the show for the world to see. Let’s discuss…
Ingrid Santa Rita: Getting To Understand The History And The Legality Of Marital Rape Through Her Journey On ‘Love Is Blind Brazil’ – And What We Can Do To Help Protect Women Going Forward
Ingrid Santa Rita was a contestant looking for love on season 4 of ‘Love Is Blind Brazil’ after she’d endured much turmoil in her life from a very young age, having given birth to her first daughter at age 13. She thought she found it in Leandro. The two got married at the end of their run, and we all thought she found her ‘happily-ever-after’. At the reunion, we found out that it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine for the couple, and that the two ended up divorcing. But not only did they divorce, there was marital rape involved too, with Leandro sexually assaulting Ingrid several times throughout the marriage, and even going as far as raping her in her sleep. Here, we break down the entire history of marital rape and how it came to be a legal matter in the 1990’s. We explain marital rape through the eyes and perspective of Colleen Hoover and her ‘It Ends With Us’ character, Lily Bloom. We explore how ‘Love Is Blind Brazil failed Ingrid and fellow domestic violence survivors. And finally, we empathize what companies can do to protect women working for them from violence in the workplace to make sure that no woman ever has to go through what Ingrid Santa Rita had to go through during her time of employment at ‘Love Is Blind Brazil’.

Jessica Simpson: How She Was Failed By (Quite Literally) Every Man In Her Life And Career – And How She Finally Got Her Sparkle Back
Jessica Simpson was a pop diva in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Though she wasn’t the Princess of Pop like Britney was by any means, she still made a name for herself with everything she’d brought to the table during that time. This included her reality show with ember ex-husband, Nick Lachey. They starred together in their own reality hit reality series, ‘Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica’, between 2003 and 2005. The show was groundbreaking, and so was their marriage. I think every little girl who was a fan of Jessica Simpson looked up to her marriage, and looked at their marriage as something they aspired to have for themselves. Simpson was a role model. And unlike Britney Spears, she did, in fact, stay a virgin until marriage. She told People at the time, ‘My virginity is something I stand strong in. It’s not always easy. But I do respect it. Virginity can be cool and sexy.’ Their marriage, however, wasn’t cool and sexy whatsoever. Here, we break down Jessica’s entire relationship with Nick, and describe how his ego got in the way of their marriage, and how he’s still using her as a weapon almost 20 years after their divorce. We explore how Jessica was failed by not only Nick, but (quite literally) by every man she’d ever encountered in her life and career, including her own father and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Eric Johnson. We then analyze the body-shaming she’d endured during the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, as well as her alcoholism. And finally, we explain what her recent return to music means to women everywhere.

Britney Spears: The Exploration Of How Her Postpartum Depression And Her Kids Were Used As A Weapon In Her Conservatorship – And How Paris Hilton Was Her Only Friend And Confidant During That Time
Britney Spears is an icon in the music industry, who’s personal turmoil overshadowed that talent. First, she was married to Jason Alexander (No, not the actor), a marriage that lasted only 55 hours. But before you joke and make fun, that’s not the shortest ever marriage in history. The shortest ever marriage in history lasted only 3 minutes. And yes, you read that correctly; only 3 minutes. Following her Vegas marriage and divorce, Spears was married twice more. First to Kevin Federline between 2004 and 2007, and then to Sam Asghari between 2022 and 2024. She had two children with Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Asghari supported Spears through her fans’ ‘Free Britney’ movement, which led to her being freed from her conservatorship. The conservatorship began in 2008, and finally ended in 2021. In 2017, Spears dedicated her first ever Icon Award to her kids. She said in her acceptance speech, ‘My two loves of my life, my sons Jaden and Preston, you’re the reason my heart beats. I love you so much.’ During that time, she was still under a conservatorship, which began in 2008 and ended in 2021, gave her father, Jamie Spears, control over her finances and personal life, but it was terminated in November 2021 after a court hearing. Here, we break down Britney’s path to the conservatorship and what led her to it, we explore her friendship with Paris Hilton and how their unlikely bond makes perfect sense, and explain how Britney’s postpartum depression and her kids were used as a woman in her conservatorship.
