WELCOME! HERE’S WHO WE ARE.
The Meteor was founded by a group of journalists, artists, filmmakers, and media leaders who believe in the power of stories to change culture—and the world. We’ve spent our careers (some of us decades; some of us months!) centering the lives of women, girls and nonbinary people, and we believe that feminist work matters. We’ve made a home for it here, producing live events, films, podcasts, newsletters and more.
The stakes are high. Disinformation is everywhere and can be paralyzing. Our goals are twofold: First, to tell compelling stories ourselves, especially through the work of BIPOC creators, LGBTQ+ folks, and all groups traditionally underrepresented in media. (Let’s face it, not all feminists are women, and certainly not all women are feminists.) Second, to amplify the important creative work already being done—by people who are making change with every tool available, from TikTok videos to long-form journalism.
We’re also inspired by trailblazers of the past. Our name takes its cue from Audre Lorde’s beautiful line about going out like “a fucking meteor.” Perhaps every human alive has, at some point, believed that they are living at a unique moment in history, but this is our collective moment. Let’s light up the sky together.
THE COLLECTIVE
The Meteor’s advisory board of writers, filmmakers, artists, and other creative leaders do crucial work on gender and racial justice.
OUR WORK
We tell stories in lots of different ways—digital, audio, social, streaming. Come see a few of our early projects.
I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!
