She takes us through the activities of her non-profit organisation, Fullstopp, which is trying to change the way menstruation is perceived by society through access, awareness and advocacy.
Apart from this, Anjali throws some light on her own struggles with online learning through this pandemic. She talks about her college application process and developing a mindset in which one can enjoy seemingly stressful tasks. Sprinkled with intriguing discussions on privilege, passion, and perception, this episode is one that you don't want to miss!
