b'Monica Duarte makes her grand return to the podcast, and brings fellow fangirl Emily Schuck with her! Monica and Emily are the masterminds behind \\u201cPortrait of a Fangirl,\\u201d a new web series hosted on Temple of Geek, to which both Monica and Emily are contributors. You\\u2019ll remember Monica from Episode 18 -- she is a photographer, who can proudly claim her photos have been published in Doctor Who magazine and SFX magazine, and also co-hosts of the Temple of Geek Podcast. In addition to Emily\\u2019s contributions to the Temple of Geek podcast, their convention highlights and more, Emily is also a writer and editor of the Foothill Journal, which publishes graduate student poetry at Claremont Graduate University.\\n\\nAt the core of Portrait of a Fangirl is the necessity of telling the stories of women who have found inspiration, growth, and power through fandom. They interview several inspiring women about how their diverse and fascinating fandoms have enriched their lives. Victoria herself is one of the women interviewed in the series and we reflect on how the women profiled defined \\u2018fangirl\\u2019 and how we\\u2019ve been empowered through fangirling. We also take a look at the challenges of maintaining a balance between the fangirl and professional aspects of your life and combating the shame that can accompany the identity. \\n\\nWhere to find Portrait of a Fangirl:\\nInstagram: @portraitofafangirl\\nTemple of Geek YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/templeofgeek\\nhttps://templeofgeek.com/\\n\\nWhere to find Emily:\\nInstagram: @lovemelovemyumbrella\\nTwitter: @emilyschuck\\n\\nWhere to find Monica:\\nInstagram, Twitter: @thisdorkynerd'
