[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is unrelated to themes I've seen here, but I'm wondering if anyone has been disappointed with her content relating to justice issues. In 2016-2019, I felt like she platformed people and issues that her base might not know about and tried to bring attention to important current events, like the Syrian refugee crisis and poverty in the U.S. She featured Jeremy Courtney from Love, Anyway (yes, I know of the following scandal), and a Muslim mother who's been really vocal about the war in Gaza. I feel like she's gone quiet about substantive issues, minus the occasional typical white-liberal-woman emotional post (I say that as a white liberal woman--is that safe to say here?). There seemed to be a slow shift, from an effort to mobilize her base to learn about issues and do something, to barely mentioning what's happening globally, and instead, sell product. I never categorized her as a theologian, activist, or political analyst, but she flirted with all three roles, claiming to pave the way for us regular gals, and seems to have since gone quiet.

It seems like without Legacy Collective, she doesn't care about those issues anymore. She's just trying to remain relevant, and has lost most of the audience she had from her Bible studies and work in the church.

On another unrelated note, I have been watching the show [i]Hacks[/i], and for some reason the main character reminds me of Jen. Older woman, trying to remain relevant and current with the times.[/quote]
