Beauty constructs and the media | Bri Pruett | TEDxMtHood

"The mainstream media hasn’t depicted a single, fat, sexually-confident woman as anything but a tragedy; of an incomplete rosebud, waiting for man to come and fix her so she may bloom…” Bri strives to express a narrative that she does not see represented often enough…of women being happy with themselves even when they’re single, happy with their bodies even if their bodies are not represented in the mass media in a positive way. In this talk she explores how the media contributes to the problem and how women can take initiative to give the media less power. Bri is a Portland-born comedian and writer, currently based in Los Angeles. She was recently featured on Comedy Central's Roast Battle and Fox's Laughs. In the last 5 years, Bri has appeared on numerous podcasts and radio shows including Doug Benson's Doug Loves Movies, Dan Savage's Savage Lovecast and NPR's Think Out Loud. She has been a regular writer and performer on NPR's LiveWire! and also performs at various comedy festivals, such as Bridgetown, Riot LA, SF Sketchfest, Bumbershoot and more. Splitsider.com called Bri a "comedian to watch." In 2016, Bri wrote and mounted her first solo show, Stellar, which received high praise. One reviewer described it as "...body positive, pro self-love and pro female sexuality. Stellar is both overtly feminist and feel good." Bri continues to share stories and jokes on stage in an effort to liberate audiences from body shame and self-hate. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
