We are so happy you are listening to our first ever podcast! We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it! In this episode we discuss The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and Passing by Nella Larsen, diving into discussions about race and identity before rocketing into the T.V. programs and films we’ve been loving of late! We talk about sex work in Harlots, beauty as an accessory to the uneasy in Rebecca, femininity in blockbuster films and relish in a good anti-hero.
