Founded in 2020, Cheek Media Co. quickly established itself as the go-to platform for daring feminist opinions on everything from right-wing politics to overcoming taboos around s*x and pleasure.

Her bold ideas will provoke you to think, spark important conversations and inspire meaningful social change.
