• Medical Complaints Are Symptoms of a Larger Problem

    I’ve been thinking about the last year of my writing on Loud Mouth Brown Girl. There’s been lots of talk about how tired I am, and I wasn’t fully prepared to actually step outside of myself and look at the constant complaint about my exhaustion as a symptom. To be clear my life is not…

  • Vancouver Has Spoken

    When I started using Cannabis I used to go and visit Jack quite often. Just to say hello, to take a picture, or to just stand beside him. Not because I admired the man, but more so because I was confused as to why he was there. For those that don’t know, he married an…

  • Opsec: Do You Have Any?

    Okay here’s a topic I’ve never really discussed but only hinted at or whatever over the last several years. I was once for like 2 full weeks, part of a group called Anonymous and I learned some things, some of it because I was there when it happened, and other stuff because I looked it…

  • Yesterday

    Yesterday I was a girl who felt broken and completely alone in the world. Today I am a woman who knows she can take on the entire world but doesn’t fucking want to. I just want to sleep. The sadness that I feel is etched into the fucking bones and it’s not going anywhere any…

  • The Goddess Sessions

    Yesterday I got to do the Goddess Sessions with my best friend in the world, Barrie Hall, Renita Quirls, and our new friend Savannah and it was a really great show filled with lots of laughter and my friends, and that was pretty much all I wanted. We’re going to keep doing this and the…

  • Are You REALLY “Trauma-Informed” ? Or Are You Just Using it As A Selling Point? An #OpenLetter to the #MentalHealth Industry

    This is the new term that the Mental Health industry is suddenly using, and it’s a phrase I’ve been hearing with growing popularity over the last few years. And I resent the fuck out of it. I’ve been hearing it from counselors, doctors, and even patients, who hear my story and learn that while they…

  • Mind the Claws: Who Is The Loud Mouth Brown Girl?

    The Loud Mouth Brown Girl Stats have been booming in recent weeks and that’s pretty cool, but I thought maybe it was time to look at what buried the seed of Loud Mouth Brown Girl and turned it into a thriving and beautiful example of mental health and wellness. My name is Devon J Hall,…

  • What Does “Defund The Police” Actually Mean? Community Funding for Dummies

    When I first heard “Defund the Police,” I laughed because that’s never going to happen, but the more that I thought about the phrase, the more that I started to wonder where all that extra money could go, and the more research I did, the more that I found others agreed with me, and have…

  • Power Words and Manifestations

    I have been thinking about Manifestation a lot, and so I thought I’d write about it to help me sort out my thoughts. My name is Devon J Hall and I am the Loud Mouth Brown Girl, but what does that mean exactly? It means that I am now an internet show producer, a podcaster,…

  • “Not My Country,” “I Can’t Believe This is Happening” “Canada?” And Other Lies White Canadians Tell Themselves

    They raised over 10 Million dollars on their Go Fund Me. They Hang Nazi Flags side by side United States of America Confederation Flags. They have tossed garbage in the streets by the hundreds of bags. They honk their horns at all hours of the day and night interrupting the healthy lives of the neighbors…

  • Today was a Blessing…Not A Waste

    There are some days that you think you just can’t move. You know you have to clean, you know you have the stuff to organize or work to do, but your brain is telling you that not moving is the best course of action. So today I did what I was capable of, and I…

  • If It Matters To You, You’ll Get it Done…I Think, Maybe, Okay We’ll See…

    I had a conversation the other day with the Small Business Owners of BC Facebook Group, and we were discussing motivation, drive, and the desire to get the work done. We all came to the conclusion after the discussion, that if you really want to do something, you’ll fucking do it. Because if you really…
