It tells the story of a Nigerian immigrant that moves to America for college, where her difficult circumstances make her separate into different selves that seem to constantly be at war with one another. Freshwater is a beautiful tale about surviving, navigating mental health, and exploring gender identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418727-O1KMOQCW14AYMO89I8DH/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 5 Books for Women of Color to Read during Quarantine This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color I was given this book at a time in my life where I was ready to give up activism altogether. I felt defeated, but I credit This Bridge Called My Back for rehabilitating me. This anthology is a collection of writings by radical women of color that tell stories of family, love, activism, and struggle. It shares real experiences by women who have put their lives and body on the line for justice. It is inspiring but also realistic about the intersections of race, gender, and activism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418734-Y0E0KCPQCL3IZEYP194M/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 5 Books for Women of Color to Read during Quarantine Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-seven Women Untangle an Obsession I bought this book after I cut off all of my hair. I was in dire need to find a community of women that understood the complexities of hair and could empathize with my need to cut all of mine off. This book was exactly that. The stories in Me, My Hair, and I range from stories about cancer survivors losing their hair to hijabis that choose to cover their hair. It is a collection of experiences that explore hair as an identity marker in a larger society that places value on women by their appearance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418741-SGXJUQD8SCIO6AJER1CA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 5 Books for Women of Color to Read during Quarantine The Summer We Got Free by Mia Mckenzie This novel tells the story of a passionate black femme artist, Ava, living in the deep south. After her family is ostracized by the Church and their community, Ava begins to lose the fire that she was always known for. With the arrival of a mysterious woman, Ava’s flame reignites and she is able to experience passion once again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418751-BFAG9FOKH1UCDWUM87UW/women+on+the+ground.jpg Blog - 5 Books for Women of Color to Read during Quarantine Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World These collections of essays are written by Arab journalists that were reporting in the region that the western media loves to dismiss as war-torn territory. These women explain the complexities of being a journalist in a region where women experience culture and religious based oppression, while not conforming to the west's idea of the Arab woman victim. https://www.brireddick.com/blog/2020/3/23/can-my-period-make-me-more-creative-y84m5-8fc5h monthly 0.5 2020-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418703-JLNVIDCVAKDL9MGZA4N5/IMG_2563.jpg Blog - Can My Period Make Me More Creative? photo by @michel_e_b on Instagram. https://www.brireddick.com/blog/2019/9/9/tampons-amp-pads-are-over-party-menstrual-cups-are-here-7t9wn-j5w4k monthly 0.5 2020-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/1782496418673-AJ4EMWMY64K3UUPJ5GTZ/IMG_9222.jpg Blog - Tampons and Pads are Over Party - Menstrual Cups are Here!

Her award-winning M.A. thesis, Black Blood: Black Menstruation, Disembodiment, and Erotic Autonomy, examined the history of Black menstruation through enslavement and its afterlives. Her dissertation project, The Florida Doula, extends this work through a Black ecofeminist analysis of reproductive and environmental crises. Drawing on ethnographic research and oral history, Reddick uses the figure of the doula to theorize alternative modes of relation and survival that move beyond hypervigilance and toward collective healing for Black women and the natural world. Bri is also a trauma-informed yoga instructor who teaches yoga to survivors of sexual misconduct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/19f2cf10-6dd4-4cc6-ae0c-cd63fbd2932c/Bri+Reddick+CV+2026-2.jpg HER - Her Work Bri Reddick is open to accepting clients for branding and writing opportunities and period education.

To me, menstruation is an educational starting point that leads to larger conversations about sex, gender, and autonomy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/bd16ad65-74b6-4c4e-8006-524a854fd68e/IMG_4171.JPG Home - The Monthlies. I believe that if we teach young menstruators to feel shame from their period, we are furthering the narrative that their bodies do not belong to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/4696eeac-132f-400f-b5fd-36ecc7b2b6d3/IMG_0819.JPG Home - Black Ecofeminist Ethics of Surrender This in no way is referencing giving up. This is simply meant to release the fantasy that we can dominate nature, each other, or outrun the collapse that capitalism is inducing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a3ebc9ff649e455a5285cb3/0f329f10-d1db-44b3-8fa5-5a6c957ed628/everglades+and+logo Home - Florida What if Florida is teaching us how to survive the apocalypse? Florida functions as a Doula for the rest of the world. As Florida faces crisis such as fascism, environmental collapse, anti-black violence, housing precarity, reproductive rights and rising sea levels while also carrying one of the deepest black feminist legacies in the country. https://www.brireddick.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-15
