I was featured in Screen Shot Magazine about my experiences as @manicpixiememequeen, mental health memes, and mental health activism. Read the article by clicking here!
“Cori, perhaps better known as @manicpixiememequeen, started her meme account as a way to cope with her own struggles. In 2017, she was experiencing some mental health issues, and her uncle had just tried to commit suicide. ‘I did what any other person would do: I made an anonymous “finsta” to shout my personal problems out to the void of the internet in the form of memes. The creation process made me feel productive, rather than feeling like I was wallowing or pitying myself,’ she told Screen Shot. ‘@manicpixiememequeen has given me so many incredible opportunities to generate discussion about mental health,’ Cori added. She went on to speak at Stanford University, and she even had several therapists message her, thanking her for posting the memes. ‘Some of their patients have used my memes to start a conversation in private sessions,’ Cori explained.”
