Hi! We're Lea, Manashri, and Tomi, and we think silo-ed podcasts are so 2019! This podcast is a kaleidoscopic chat on topics that are relatable, uncomfortable and evolving. We’ll explore the nuances within typically polarizing conversations while addressing the countless intersections of identity that inform our experiences and worldview. We like our research, but we're not afraid to look dumb. Hangout with us for an episode or two as we engage in some good ol' intersectional gossip.
Today we’re exploring love as separating humanity from image. What does it mean to truly love someone? And is it possible to love someone society has marginalized, when you yourself haven’t been forced to practice radical self-love? Now I know that’s a lot of arbitrary verbiage, but hang in there, cause we’re gonna break all of this down.
