Literally no one asks Aja to wade into this issues, she decides to insert herself and then cry about the eMOtiOnAL LAbOuR of having to talk about it! then she has the nerve to demand people pay her for this "work".
I know 🤯🤯🤯 no one asked and now you want paying???? Madness!

Strong Slumflower vibes lol. Pay! 👏 Black! 👏 Women! 👏 first, ask questions later.

It's like when someone randomly starts cleaning your car at a red light and then intimdates you into giving them money for it.

I'm so glad she has a thread! The first time I saw her book I was convinced that it was the same old white feminist stuff I saw on Tumblr years ago (y'know, the stuff that often ignores female poverty, racism, class issues and reduces female empowerment to simply deciding who to have sex with etc etc), and interviews gave me the impression that its author is completely lost in her own ego.
Even small quotes give me narcissistic vibes. This idea that it's her who's helping all these people, having 'divine' energy, dumping her boyfriend because she didn't want him to be 'jealous of her success' - this isn't someone who genuinely cares about helping other women live their best lives. Selling corny shirts for £60, parading her wealth online and putting her (somewhat helpful) book behind a paywall, thus making her advice near inaccessible for less privileged doesn't help my opinion of her. Shocked that she's making so much money from views that are shared by far more worthy, less wealthy women.

This is spot on.
It’s such a shame that these trendy, marketable online personalities keep missing the point.

But then again, anyone actually addressing the issues you’ve raised above wouldn’t likely be given a platform/book deal and all the marketing behind it because it’s controversial and challenges oppressive systems.

I’d LOVE to see someone mainstream challenge both the FG/Slumflower Instagram aesthetic ‘feminism’ without actually calling them directly out (which would maybe cause people to just dismiss it) and talk about full, proper intersectionality in an accessible way.

Something with her does not sit right at all. I do not believe she has developed so much from school till now only 21, I do not mean to be ageist but that ''journey'' she claims to have been on seems very much fast forwarded to the end.

However the things she has helped people with regarding toxic partners etc is a good thing to come from whatever she truly is or is not.

Okay I do enjoy Florence's content and I think she can be great, but I'm really not enjoying the holier than thou vibe shes started giving off. I don't know how to explain it properly but all these stories of her dancing and when she does her like "empowering" IGTVs or whatever, it just feels so fake like it's just her brand. I feel like al influencers get like this at some point where they just stop being authentic and it's so annoying

I agree influencers always get to this point it shocks me that their management doesn't do anything about it

Yikes.

She has released a new chapter add on to her book. 96 pages and is charging £7.99!

Apparently it’s regarding how to deal with heartbreak as a feminist.

It just seems like her and her publishers are trying to monetise on the success of WDOYP.

Why is it the small edition if it has an extra chapter? I’m confused lol

For sure.

I couldn’t imagine her having the content to release a whole other book. She hasn’t even been showing off her artwork as much or really posting any meaningful content other than her constantly parading round in front of the camera which is getting boring.

Florence still has limited comments on her Instagram posts, maybe she’s still getting hate from the Slumflower?
