On the 5th anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, which killed 1,138 people and injured many more in 2013, I encourage you to ask brands #whomademyclothes and demand greater transparency in the fashion supply chain.

Often when I open up a discussion about women’s issues, such as the over-sexualisation of female athletes, violence against women, or the exploitation of female factory workers in developing countries, the natural discourse tends to be someone asking “what about the men?”

While I was in London this week I met up with my friend Matt Barr for lunch, and we had a good little catch up on the whole media farrago I was in over the last couple of weeks.

INTRODUCING Dearbhla Glynn // Human Rights Filmmaker, Journalist, Photographer, Woman, Storyteller, Yoga Instructor, Realist and many other things.

I’m constantly asking myself this and I’m still figuring it out.

Lets take it slow, be responsible, maybe even commit to a long term relationship? After all, loved things are worth repairing.

This morning I went live with Jenni Murray on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour. We discussed the sexualisation of female athletes, the damaging monoculture we are all too often presented within the media, and the importance of more diverse role models.

As a female athlete, I’m upset by how the media has portrayed me – and I’m determined not to be quiet anymore

Yesterday I was not an angry feminist. Yesterday I was joking about the mishaps of my mooncup. Today, however, I am an angry feminist, and I'm about to roar.

I am finally hosting my first ever retreat. Not somewhere tropical, but on my doorstep, at The Cliffs of Moher Retreat Centre, a purpose-designed, luxury venue, set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, the Cliffs of Moher and the beautiful countryside of Co.Clare, Ireland.

Cold Water Immersion; Skill Required: NIL. Balls Required: NIL. Friends Required: At Least One. Introducing My Tribe...

I always travel with a few simple items to reduce my use of single-use plastic. Here they are…

In this podcast myself and Matt Barr discuss my move away from “the dream life”, bikini modelling for big surf brands and travelling the world, to slowing things down and immersing myself in the cold waters of Ireland. We discuss female objectification, the toxicity of gender stereotyping in surfing, and the prism of controversies that come along with it.

The hyper-sexualisation of women in surfing culture is an interesting conversation and it’s an issue men need to be talking about too. It’s especially interesting for me as I have been on both sides of the debate. I am full of contradictions.

For all the women here and the ones I haven’t featured yet; the young ones like Seren in surf league, the ones who are away travelling, the original ones who were surfing here long before I blew in, the ones who are in the sea all the time but no one has ever thought to capture it for you, the ones who are so shy and humble they quietly asked me not to be featured. I salute you.

It's lovely and everything smells nice. It's warm, not hot and I didn’t really burn. When I arrived I was picked up at the airport, it was all smiles and kind exchanges, it was all good vibrations and happy people. This was my first time here, everything was pleasant, every day was fulfilled and each person more than civil.

It’s winter and I find myself floating in my 6mm suit, hiding behind my board, trying to stop the hail, the snow and the wind that is burning my face, I’m laughing and I realise I’m pretty much as stoked as a girl can be.

Community is everywhere, it is more than one person doing something, it is communicating, it is a life like your parents lived, it’s hard, and it’s easy. It can be a challenge. For me community meant thinking differently.

Spring isn’t as conventional here as seasons elsewhere, winter is not quite dead. We are behind on our new farm, the lads are battling against the weather to get the beds prepared and onion seeds planted, polytunnels are going up slowly in the rain.

Finding Home is a short documentary profile of my search for a way of living at one with the ocean and the earth. Film makers Michael Fordham And Ed Andrews travelled with me from my childhood home to the incredible coastline of Clare – discovering that perhaps the most important journey I have taken is the one inside myself.
