Man Repeller Medine started the

Refinery29. Medine began collaborating with magazines like
Lucky and ''
Harper's Bazaar. Man Repeller
was included in TIME's'' "25 Best Blogs of 2012", and received "Best Overall Blog" at the 2012
Bloglovin' Awards. Initially, the blog was written solely by Medine but later grew to include contributions from several writers and editors. In September 2013,
Grand Central Publishing published the book
Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls. Medine announced in June 2020 that she would “step back” from her involvement in
Man Repeller after allegations of racism. In September 2020, the site was rebranded to
Repeller. On October 22, 2020, it was confirmed that
Repeller would shut down due to financial constraints. Medine currently maintains a newsletter entitled "The Cereal Aisle".
