Plucky Media is a platform dedicated to intersectional feminist commentary and unironic joy. Whether that’s about food, movies, tv, theatre, marketing, or anything in between, we’re here to amplify voices that need to be amplified and just providing good content. Between our (forthcoming) youtube space, social media, and on this blog— we’re here for good *wholesome* content. Although, we can be dicks sometimes. It just happens.

Here’s some more info about our team:
