Learning Out Loud
Curiosity is the fuel behind Why We Bleed — and this is where that curiosity lives out loud.
Learning Out Loud is a space for asking better questions, exploring unfamiliar ideas, and sharing what I’m actively figuring out. Not everything here will be polished or perfectly formed — and that’s the point. This isn’t about being an expert. It’s about being open: to new information, to shifting perspectives, and to sitting with ideas long enough to understand them before deciding what you think.
Some posts will be small discoveries — a fact I never learned, a term I finally looked up. Others will unpack bigger, more complicated systems that I’m still trying to make sense of. But all of it is rooted in the belief that caring isn’t passive. You can’t truly care about something if you’re not willing to understand it.
It can feel uncomfortable to admit you didn’t know something — especially when it matters. But ignorance isn’t a moral failure. Staying there is. Learning isn't linear, and it shouldn’t be silent. So I’m choosing to share my process: the unlearning, the relearning, the questions, and the moments that shift how I see the world.
This isn’t about accepting everything you hear — it’s about staying open, immersing yourself in new ideas, and coming to your own conclusions with intention.
Women are strong. That shouldn’t be up for debate — and strength should never be a requirement for basic respect.
Women deserve equality. Not just in law, but in lived experience — in safety, opportunity, healthcare, leadership, and the freedom to exist without fear or limitation. This issue isn’t behind us — it’s still happening, every day, in ways both obvious and quiet.
I care about this not just for the women I admire, but for the children I may raise — and for the children others already are. We owe them a world where equality isn’t theoretical. It’s real.
This is a conversation that matters. So I’m having it — and learning more with every step.
Everyone deserves access to a quality education — but not everyone gets it.
In theory, learning should be empowering. But in reality, education is shaped by privilege, policy, and power — and the gaps between what’s available and what’s equitable are wider than many of us realize.
This section is where I’m digging into those gaps. Who has access? Who’s excluded? What systems are in place, and who do they serve? I’m learning about the rights we should all have, the ways those rights are denied, and the impact that has — not just on individuals, but on entire communities.
It’s also where I question what I was taught, what I wasn’t, and what I wish had been different.
Because education isn’t just about information — it’s about opportunity. And opportunity should never be a luxury.
The earth isn’t just a place we live — it’s a system we depend on.
This section is where I’m learning how deeply everything is connected: the land, the air, the oceans, the animals, and us. Conservation isn’t just about protecting beautiful places — it’s about understanding how human choices impact the planet’s ability to function, to heal, and to support life.
From vanishing species to polluted oceans to climate shifts that affect vulnerable communities first, I’m trying to better understand what’s happening and why it matters. This isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being aware, and finding ways to live with more respect for the world that sustains us.
Because we don’t need to save the planet for the planet’s sake.
We need to save it because we’re part of it
