Habits… Hit Different: The Episode about the Practices that Helped and Harmed Us

Think back to a time where you felt justified in something you’ve done by saying, “oh - it’s just a habit.” We’re confident that almost everyone can relate and that this response in itself can be considered .. Just that - a habit. We make allowances for situations and actions in an effort to not only appease the best and worst parts of ourselves, but also the environments and people that surround us. Habits are essentially the things we do and why we do them.

After former Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, shared her truth about her lived experiences after marrying Prince Harry David in an exclusive CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey, we saw how vital feeling secure in this world is.... But more specifically, in a space that you’ve intended to make your own.

The social media platform ‘OnlyFans’ opened the floodgates to bring a once ostracized content creator to the forefront… normalizing and idealizing sex work. Even celebrities like Trey Songz, Mario, Cardi B, and Bella Thorne all have accounts. With huge stars using the platform, has the stigma surrounding sex work has gone away? Or are sex workers still ‘othered’ and harmed at alarming rates?

February is the month of love, right? Hearts. Candy. Romance. Cupid. But, that is exactly what we did not get in the Netflix film ‘Malcolm and Marie’.
