Started my new blog, Ruskeat Tytöt on a whim, because I got sick of waiting for brown girls to be represented in Finnish media like normal people.
Turns out, someone else was waiting, too. With almost 1000 daily visitors, it earned the title of “a recommended blog”, awarded by the editorial team of lily.fi, the portal on which Ruskeat Tytöt is published.
Since the blog was started in February, 2015, I have already been giving lectures and interviews on topics such as gender, race, class, motherhood and media representations of these concepts.

This year, in collaboration with Macwell Creative, I was in charge of coordinating the entire renewal process of the A-Clinic Foundation's website www.varjomaailma.fi, which is targeted at children who suffer from parental substance misuse.
Varjomaailma.fi is not just an informative website, but a unique, interactive forum firmly based on methods used in face-to-face child protection social work. More info here.
Other collaborators vital to this project: Mikko Kempas & Kaarle Hurtig & Inka Järvinen.

Ei minulla mitään kysyttävää, mutta halusin kiittää sinua "Hiljaa hyvä tulee" -artikkelistasi Trendissä. Se oli upeasti kirjoitettu juttu tärkeästä aiheesta, josta mielestäni puhutaan liian vähän. Hienoa että Cainin kirjakin sai julkisuutta. Sydämelliset kiitokset tuosta jutusta, Koko! Mitä parhainta syksyn jatkoa. T. Joona, Hki.
Hei Joona!
Syvät pahoitteluni, että vastaan viestiisi vasta nyt, en yhtään tajunnut että täällä on tällainenkin paikka. Olen tosi iloinen, että juttu kosketti. Minulle oli tosi tärkeää saada tehdä juttu, koska olin ihan varma etten ole yksin ajatuksineni, vaikkei tästä asiasta koskaan oikein puhuta. On aina helpottavaa saada nimi tai käsite omille hapuiluilleen. Kiitos siis palautteesta ja aurinkoa kevääseesi!
T. Koko H.

Confessions of a Brutally Honest Person #4
There is something even more gross/comfortable than wearing Ugg boots. Wearing Ugg boots without socks. I do it all the time. Even to the club.
