BB: 10th anniversary edition of The Gifts of Imperfection, or you can use your original book, both of them are perfect. I would start, before you listen to the first podcast, I would take The Wholehearted Assessment. You can just go to brenebrown.com and do a search for The Wholehearted. Do we have a search button on that website? We do, right?
I have to admit here, the voice over acting was not as bad as I had thought it would be. Trailers are such strange creatures that of course when you listen to them, everything is out of context so nothing sounds as good as it should.
Since Moxie deals with teen angst, sexism, and a revolution, it's no surprise that the movie has characters fan love and characters fans never want to see again. From questionable high school faculty and jocks to an inspiring and diverse group of kickass teenage girls, Moxie has a wide array of characters.
Mr. Davies could have been an amazing ally to the female students in his class but instead of listening to their concerns and their critiques about the novels he has them read, he dismisses them. And he also never steps in to put Mitchell in his place when he harassed the female students in the class. In the end, Mr. Davies shows a bit of remorse for his actions and supports the students' walk-out, but like Principal Shelly it's too little too late.
He draws stars on his hands, helps get Kiera nominated for the student-athlete award, and regularly listens to the concerns of the girls in his class. In addition, he's the only one who knows Vivian is the creator of Moxie and keeps it a secret despite him thinking she should own it.
