This is Meagan Kerr

Wands at the ready for all things Harry Potter

Hands up if you’re a fan of the wizarding world of Harry Potter. I most definitely am – I’ve read the books, watched the films countless times, played LEGO Harry Potter on my PS4, and I’ve been playing Wizards Unite since it was in Beta (more on that in a minute). Naturally, this Ravenclaw gets really excited when new HP stuff comes out! Here’s a few things that have caught my eye lately. View Post

Review: Landwhale by Jes Baker

New Zealand plus size blogger Meagan Kerr reads Landwhale by Jes Baker

Jes Baker (aka The Militant Baker) is seriously fucking funny. And she makes me cry. Basically, her writing manages to throw me from one end of the spectrum of human emotion to the other and back again. You might remember that I was a huge fan of Jes’s first book Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls, so it will probably come as no surprise that I pre-ordered my copy of her latest book Landwhale long before it came out.

Going to a concert with anxiety

Taylor Swift Reputation Tour, Auckland 2018

I used to go to rock concerts all the time. I’ve seen some amazing bands over the years – until my anxiety started to become more of a problem for me and then I had to make the hard decision to stop going. I’m not very good around crowds, I suffer from panic attacks and to be honest it’s a real struggle. I recently got invited along to the Taylor Swift Reputation Tour concert here in Auckland and as someone who has been a Taylor Swift fan for the last ten years or so, I knew there was no way I could say no. I had to find a way to go to the concert and not have my anxiety be an issue. Easier said than done. I thought that since anxiety in big crowds seems to be quite common I’d share a few of the things that helped me have a great time and minimise my anxiety. View Post

200 Women

200 Women, Ruth Hobday, Geoff Blackwell and Kieran E. Scott

200 Women, by Ruth Hobday, Geoff Blackwell and Kieran E. Scott

The other day I wrote about the need to see more plus size women represented in the media. It always excites me when I see plus size women being included in projects and campaigns without having a song and dance from a company about “look at us being all diverse and inclusive”. And that’s one of the things that got me excited about the book 200 Women. It features women who are famous and unknown; celebrated and marginalised; of many cultures, ages, sizes, and backgrounds.

No Filter

No Filter by Grace Victory

I first discovered Grace Victory when she was part of a Nike campaign – I was so excited to see an amazing fat woman of colour repping for a fitness brand, and even more excited to find out that she was a fellow blogger/vlogger.

I think it’s really important to surround myself with positive influences, so I started following Grace on social media; I checked out her YouTube channel; and I watched the documentaries she made with BBC Three. You know when you make an awesome new friend and you want to spend all your time with them? That was how I felt View Post

I read this book thanks to Hachette New Zealand, but as always all opinions are my own.
