Matt Joseph Diaz

Matt talks about how to deal with being stared at. 

While every generation has its triumphs (Barack Obama, gay marriage, legalized marijuana) and missteps (Ed Hardy Shirts, Lost, making Gerard Butler famous,) millennials are actually a lot better than we get credit for. Need proof?

From a young age, people (especially women) are constantly taught that we’re in competition with one another. Whether it’s our grades, our social status, our economic status, or those creepy beauty pageants for 6 year olds, we’re immediately thrust into a world where we’re taught to view everyone as adversarial to a certain degree.

For a long time, passing privilege made me feel like I didn’t deserve to call myself latino.

This Monday, Matt talks about female comic characters. Batman? How about BatNOTSOMUCHMAN.

This week on Mondays With Matt: Wearing a crop-top. And I have a NEW BELLYBUTTON.

When I share that I’m in a bad place, I’m told to curl up in bed with a nice book, eat my favorite ice cream or to take a relaxing bath. While these are all wonderful and helpful ideas, I think it’s important to discuss aspects of self-care that aren’t all about resting and treating yourself.

I know, it's Monday. BLECH. But, that also means it's time for #MondaysWithMatt.

This week, Matt shares what he wishes he learned in high school.

It's Monday — Boo! But, it's also time for another installment of #MondaysWithMatt — Yeah!
