Iris Dares Designs shop is full of sparkle, unicorns, rainbows and tul and she owns the joy that all of it spark on many kids and parents! Iris Dares Designs is determined to change the narrative that tell us that you can't be badass just because you are wearing a tiara.

It is important to understand that a lot of the choices that we make are massively pushed by society, but it doesn’t mean that we need to reject them, we might actually love them! Being conscious of the way the world and society are built  is useful to make our choices more informed and broad.

Suicide rate among men has hit a two-decade high in England and Wales. So, I cannot make the topic about anything else this week, I am talking about this because this is a feminist topic.

One of the top 33 inspiring women, one of the top 20 African women, contributor of UN, Tedx speaker and I could go on and on...learn more about Candice Mama and her views on feminism!

I wanted to talk in this video about situation in which there is no rape but things are still wrong. Situations in which there is one part coming home feeling guilty and ashamed and it is often the wrong  person.  This is a story to show men the part of the story that they are missing and how important is to be aware of the other half.

If you are in Northern Ireland and you are a feminist you most likely know Kellie Turtle. She lives and breathes feminism, she is in the middle of rallies, grassroots organisations, social media debates and basically any initiative related to feminist activism.

So I am beyond delighted to bring her words to the website for you all to hear more about her and what she is all about!

This is my first video...finally getting out of my comfort zone and here is a bit more about my journey! 

Yes, there will be more. No, it is not a threat!

Niamh is a young woman herself and she has made it her purpose in life to help others like her to find their voice, goals and worth in a world in which seems like there is one way only to be successful. 

 

We can't agree more with the idea of women following their passions, being fulfilled personally and professionally and redefining what success is for them.

Jennifer is an academic, tandem-feeder, walk-lover mum and feminist and the co-founder of Breastival!

Chandana Hiram shares her views on being a dark-skin woman in India. Her reflections on the power of media and why she decided to do something about it. Her petition in change.org asking the company "fair and lovely" owned by unilever to change her name and strategy is making a massive impact.

We interview Chandana Hiram, the young woman behind the petition that has put the brand "fair and lovely" owned by Unilever in a very uncomfortable position. With over 33 thousand signatures so far she is demanding a less racist approach to beauty in India.

I think it is fair to ask ourselves how we expect girls to not fall into that trap when we constantly praise them for their physical appearance. How can we expect them to believe us when we say that "what really matters is what's on the inside" when they are bombarded by unrealistic beauty expectations and surrounded by adults talking about dieting, calories and sizes? 

What is privilege? Do I have it? Can I even give it up? We explore more what privilege is and how accepting it, and being responsible about it is something essential to move forward.

We are interviewing the poet, writer, activist, performer and many more things Kyla Jenee Lacey, whose video "white privilege" has been viral on several occasions. 

Don't miss out her answers :) 

Things get ugly, really quickly in the internet. 

When we created The Feminist Shop, our main focus was to celebrate what we have in common rather than focus on our differences. And we stand by it. We can't insult each other on the name of feminism, we owe better to a movement that is about fairness.

This week the Dr Laure Mintz PhD, Psychology Professor at the University of Florida and one of the worldwide leading voices in women's sexuality and orgasm equality is sharing with us some of her knowledge!
