Articulating sharp, progressive perspectives on the social and political issues that matter, Bite Back offers constructive talking points to provoke and inspire meaningful change. The Co-Founder of Cheek Media Co. delivers the conversations we've been missing on everything from diet culture to the future of the #MeToo movement.

Cheek Media Co. was founded by three women in 2020 with the singular purpose of delivering entertaining, accessible and progressive ideas in a media landscape dominated by the conservative right. In just over two years, Cheek has become the go-to social platform for Australians seeking expansive, feminist opinions on current events. Bite Back examines how to have hard conversations with loved ones, the realities of reforming a criminal justice system that isn't fit for purpose and analyses the role of popular culture icons in upholding beauty standards and a toxic culture of dieting. This is a book of opinions and ideas with bite, it's news that talks back.
