This Filmmaker Is Redefining the Way Young Girls Think About Mental Illness

In 2017, cool girl Elyse Fox took a very public stand on mental illness in the social community. After struggling with depression herself, she launched Sad Girls Club, an IRL judgment-free zone where girls could go to connect, get help, and ultimately not feel so alone. Overnight, this filmmaker-turned-mentor created a revolution that reached out to girls everywhere, especially women of color, where stats consistently show the lack of access to mental health services. This 20-something with a Caribbean upbringing experienced that disparity first hand, so it only made sense to spread her mission far and wide, one post, in-person event, and hashtag (#SupportYourLocalSadGirl) at a time.

We spoke with Fox firsthand to hear how she's finding her own inspiration while making a difference in the lives of others. Scroll down to see the full interview below.

Brit + Co: Who has inspired you / continues to inspire you?

Elyse Fox: I'm inspired by the youth (Gen Z), they have an amazing view on life and tackle problems in such innovative ways. I like to study the way they think and process emotions.

B+C: What obstacle do you want to see women overcome in 2018?

EF: I want women to practice real feminism and support each other all the time. By looking past socioeconomic status and creating community together to spark a global change that we desperately need.

B+C: How do you use social media to inspire others?

EF: I use social media to create a judgment-free community and teach girls that it's okay to be open about your mental health.

B+C: What issue should we be paying more attention to?

EF: We should all be trying to find ways to defeat slavery in Libya and providing relief for the families and communities affected.

B+C: When do you feel most creative / most beautiful / most powerful / most magical?

EF: I feel most creative when I'm not feeling my best; I feel most beautiful when I believe in myself. I feel most powerful when my voice is heard. I feel most magical when I help others.

B+C: What would you say to inspire your younger self?

EF: Stay consistent and trust your vision.

Summer rom-coms are so back! A24 confirmed on March 4 that Celine Song's Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, is coming to theaters this June and I cannot contain my excitement. The new movie follows a matchmaker (Dakota) who finds herself torn between two romantic prospects. If that's too dramatic for you, girl, I'd be happy to take your place.

Here's the latest update on Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.

Is Materialists out yet?

Materialists will premiere in theaters June 13, 2025. After Past Lives became THE summer movie in 2023 (and absolutely wrecked my roommates), I know Materialists is going to be the perfect June watch.

What is the plot of Materialists?

The movie follows Dakota Johnson's character, a matchmaker in New York City who falls for the perfect man, but can't seem to let go of her ex. Given the fact the first poster for the movie includes "save the date" and looks like a wedding cake, I'm wondering if we'll see all three characters cross paths at a wedding...

What has the cast said about the movie?

When I asked Dakota Johnson about working with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, she teased how much she enjoyed working with them. "They're both big idiots and I love them," she told Brit + Co exclusively at her Daddio premiere.

Where was Materialists filmed?

Materialists was filmed around New York City, which means the movie's going to have so much life and energy in every single shot. Plus Dakota's sundresses are totally giving Brooklyn gal — and I'm dreaming of prancing around the city in a dress as soon as the weather warms up!

Are you as excited for Materialists as I am? Let us know your favorite rom-coms in the comments and check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's new romance movie for more!

You've probably heard of the myth that people are either "left-brained" or "right-brained." Those said to be left-brain dominant usually excel when it comes to critical thinking or the use of logic; meanwhile, so-called right-brain thinkers are more creative and imaginative.

Yet, even though research has found no evidence of right-versus-left brain dominance, our proclivity for creativity might be explained by our zodiac signs.

Yes, it's true that creativity can be found in anyone, but certain people seem to have an innate ability to think outside the box and bring brand-new ideas to life. This suggests that certain signs are naturally wired for artistry and original thinking.

So, here are the top eight zodiac signs that are most likely to be creative geniuses, from Pisces and Gemini to Taurus and Aries.

Scroll to see which zodiac signs are most likely to be creative geniuses!

Brit + Co

1. Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

Pisces have deep emotional sensitivity and are able to channel their feelings into all kinds of artistic expressions.

Whether through music, painting, poetry, or other creative outlets, they're able to transform their emotions into art that truly resonates. They are wildly imaginative and let intuition serve as their guide.

Brit + Co

2. Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Geminis are curious and quick-witted communicators, so it makes sense why their creativity shines through the power of words. They excel at storytelling, putting together complicated narratives, and easily expressing complex ideas.

This sign is also adaptable, and their openness to experimenting with different styles, genres, and mediums makes them natural writers, journalists, and poets.

3. Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Aquarians love to push creative boundaries. They tend to think out of the box and are very innovative, challenging norms and sparking new ideas in unconventional ways.

Their creativity often shines in fields like technology, science, and avant-garde art, where originality and a bit of rebellion help them emerge as forward-thinkers and change-makers.

Brit + Co

4. Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leos have an undeniable confidence and flair that allows them to steal the spotlight. They have a knack for commanding attention and captivating all sorts of audiences.

From acting to singing and dancing, Leos infuse passion and drama into everything they do. They're bold and self-assured, so they're not afraid to take risks, and they're driven by a longing to leave a lasting impact.

Brit + Co

5. Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libras are artistic visionaries with a talent for creating beauty and harmony. They thrive in fields like fashion, interior design, graphic arts, or any industry that allows them to create stunning experiences.

This sign has a deep appreciation for symmetry, balance, and elegance. That's why Libras can turn even the simplest things into something really captivating.

Brit + Co

6. Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

Sagittarians crave adventure and have an insatiable curiosity. Their love of traveling and experiencing other cultures and philosophies along their journeys is reflected in their creative endeavors.

From travel photography to poetry, this sign tends to tie both wanderlust and wisdom into their art. Sagittarians are constantly looking to move, discover, and evolve, which helps them break down traditional boundaries.

Brit + Co

7. Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Tauruses value beauty, comfort, and aesthetics. They have an eye for design and a strong sense of style, so they are great in fields like interior design, fashion, and even culinary arts.

Their creativity is rooted in practicality, and while they might not be the most spontaneous artists out there, their love for the finer things in life lets them create works that stand the test of time.

Brit + Co

8. Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Last but certainly not least is Aries, a zodiac that marries fearlessness with innovation. This sign is always eager to break new ground and doesn't shy away from taking risks.

They thrive on action and originality, whether it comes to music, art, or entrepreneurship. Their creations are usually expressive and dynamic and make a strong statement.
