Blac Chyna has been associated with the Kardashian-Jenner family for many years now, and now, through her daughter with Rob Kardashian, she’ll be forever associated with the family, whether she likes it or not. Her history is…complex. Many people have had opinions of her in the past; through her early life as a stripper, her history with Tyga and the aftermath of her relationship with him and Rob. To say that it was a messy time in her life, as well as the time of everyone else in her life at the time, would be an understatement. All the craziness was unfolded for everyone to see on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, as well as ‘Rob & Chyna’, the former couple’s own spinoff series. And speaking of ‘Rob & Chyna’, Chyna sued the entire Kardashian family in 2022 for allegedly interfering with her reality show’s future. Simultaneously, she was also suing Rob for assault, battery, and harassment. She lost, but some details on the rapper and reality star were made public through the trial. Here, we break down Chyna’s relationship with Rob and the entire Kardashian-Jenner family from beginning to now. We explore how Chyna has been affected by intergenerational trauma at the hands of her mother, Tokyo Toni. And we explore what one can do to (finally) end the cycle. Let’s discuss…

Julia Fox, one of Kanye West’s exes, recently encouraged her female fans to be careful who they have children with after her ex-husband got their son baptized with her permission. She was absolutely right. I just wish Kim Kardashian got that same advice back in 2012 when she started dating Kanye. Here, we break down Kanye’s treatment of Kim following their separation and divorce, and how it’s actually no laughing matter, but a trigger to domestic violence survivors. We explore the role of mental health and illness can play in one’s life.

Taylor Swift: The Real Beauty And Value In Age-Gap Friendships – And Why They’re Actually Necessary For A Woman’s Growth
Legendary actress Jane Fonda has been very vocal in recent years on the importance of female friendships. In 2024, she said, ‘Women’s friendships are very different from men’s friendships. And they’re very important to our health. Because you guys, you kind of sit side by side and watch sports or cars or women. Women sit facing each other eye to eye, and they say, ‘I’m in trouble. I need you. Can you help me?’ We are not afraid of being vulnerable.’ Her husband, Ted Turner once said to her that he figured women didn’t make friends past 60, to which she said he was really wrong. She continued, ‘What you have to do is you have to be intentional. Like, I never used to be intentional. I would meet Sally Field, for example, but not pursue – well I did pursue you. You have to pursue people that you want to be friends with. And you have to say, ‘I’m intentionally wanting to be your friend.’ And it works. People hear that and then stick around, and you develop new friendships.’ Here, we take things into perspective and take a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s many friendships, including with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, And Jamie King. We particularly explain the underlying necessity of age-gap friendships by exploring Kourtney Kardashian’s friendship with Addison Rae. And we compare them to the likes of friendships with people closer to our own age group. Let’s discuss…
Eva Erickson: What Her Autism Story And Seeing Joe Helping Her During Her Time Of Need Taught Us About Disability And Awareness – And Why Disability Representation Done The RIGHT Way On Reality Television Matters So Much
‘Survivor 48’ made headlines a couple of weeks ago, and in the best way possible. Something very special happened on the March 26 episode. It was one that brought Jeff Probst to tears — something he confessed has never happened before in 48 seasons of hosting the show for 25 years. It was a moment between contestants Joe Hunter and Eva Erickson, which involved Eva being overstimulated and having what she called an ‘autism episode’ during an immunity challenge, followed by castaway Joe helping her come back to normal. In other reality television news, Brittany Cartwright recently revealed that her son was diagnosed with autism 6 months prior, and her journey to finding answers to the diagnosis will be showcased in the newest season of ‘The Valley’. Here, we break down the entire moment between Eva and Joe and explain not only it tells viewers of people with autism, but also those who surround people with autism, such as in the case of Joe and the rest of the contestants. We also explore Cartwright’s own story of being a mother and a caretaker to her autistic son, as well as the April 3 episode of ‘The Kardashians’ which saw the family celebrate Amari Thomason’s brother’s birthday. By speaking of these, we break down the importance of disability representation being done RIGHT in media and reality TV. 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…
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…
