We are close to the middle of February, and we all have been bombarded with the media messages, Television shows, music and storefronts depictions of love and Valentine's Day. To some of us, love is exciting, passionate and romantic. To others, love means pain, sadness, and a we have a physiological reaction of "ugh" when we walk past all of the red signs, flowers and teddy bears in the stores.
Our perception and beliefs about love are shaped by our experiences, but also what we have been taught by our families, by culture, and by the norms of the society we are brought up in.
In this, first ever episode of Evolve Ventures, Emilia and Bianca take a new approach of diving into society's expectations of love.
Welcome, everyone, to Evolve Ventures.
