    About this Episode

    New tech got you nervous? We've brought in our pal Ellie McBride to talk about how she helps women bridge the gap between their fear and succeeding in all the amazing tech advancements they can embrace!

    About Ellie McBride

    Ellie McBride is an American expat living in Northern Ireland since 2017. After moving across the world to be with her Northern Irish husband, she struggled to find the flexibility to spend much time back at her other home in Oregon to see her friends and family. In this quest for flexibility, she realized building an online business from the ground up is the way to have everything she ever wanted in life. 

    Ellie started out as a freelancer back in 2017. As a Virtual Assistant, she worked online with business owners in areas like social media planning, creating slick systems and automations, and perfecting their email marketing systems. However, Ellie soon realized many of her clients struggled with the same: Creating efficient processes to help open up their time for the tasks that truly needed their attention.

    Now she uses the skills and tools she learned from her days as a VA in her work as a Squarespace website designer. Ellie helps create a solid backbone for your business with systems that connect to your website and grant you the freedom to let go of repetitive tasks and focus on the work you’re truly excited about.

    Ellie's goal? To give you a beautiful home on the web for your message and your work all while helping make your work more efficient.

    Ellie serves women who own small businesses and are building them from the ground up by creating beautiful, functional websites with built in time-saving systems. 

    About Tech Talk for Women

    Us geek girls know a thing or two about tech (some more than others), but we also see so many women interested in tech, gaming, and geek culture who feel daunted at the thought of learning something new.

    Women for so long have been discouraged from getting techy. It's not so much from the millenial and younger generation, but the women Ellie works with feel unsure about making even the simplest changes on their website.

    Ellie's on a mission to make tech accessible and more straightforward. She believes women are absolutely capable of embracing tech and getting shit done!

    We fully support on her quest and you should to!

    Time to say goodbye!

    After 5 years of talking about all things feminism, geekdom, and LGBTQIA+ issues, the time of Geek Herring has come to an end. 

    In this episode Amanda and Moni talk one final time about their decision and what led to this point.

    We are forever grateful for every single person who listened to our ramblings. 

    Hopefully we'll see or hear you in one way or the other out there. 

    So long, and thanks for all the fish!

    Forever geekily yours,

    Geek Girl Reviews Money Shot: The Pornhub Story

    Geek Girl Reviews Money Shot: The Pornhub Story

    Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is about, well, porn. But it's also not. It's about sexual exploitation, legal sex work, and the laws that have muddled everything up.

    With some thoughtful and knowledgeable from our community, we discuss this documentary in-depth, what FOSTA and SESTA mean for the sex work industry, and, above all, condemn the sexual exploitation on Pornhub and so many other pornography sites.

    Rest assured, we're going to dive into this topic, specifically sex work and ethical pornography, in a future episode.

    Geek Interview with Clarkisha Kent: Chatting All Things Fat Off, Fat On

    Geek Interview with Clarkisha Kent: Chatting All Things Fat Off, Fat On

    Clarkisha Kent joins us to discuss her brand new book, Fat Off, Fat On: A Bit Bitch Manifesto. We had the pleasure of reading this book before its release, and it was really cool getting to chat with her about her writing and creative process.

    CW for childhood and family trauma, which is a big topic in her memoir. We briefly discuss family dynamics and trauma in this episode, too.

    Clarkisha shares her writing process, how she came to write her memoir before the western she's dreaming of, and what it's like being a first-time published author.

    About Clarkisha Kent

    Clarkisha Kent is a Nigerian-American writer, culture critic, former columnist, and author. Committed to telling inclusive stories via unique viewpoints from nigh-infancy, she is fascinated with using storytelling and cultural criticism not as a way to “overcome” or “transcend” her unique identities (as a fat and queer Black African woman), but as a way to explore them, celebrate them, affirm them, and most importantly, normalize them and make the world safe enough for people who share them to exist.
