Yes& Body PoliticsEpisode 206: Why Can't We Just be Mad?Sometimes, especially right now things are hard and scary. So we get mad at all sorts of things, like stores (Although we don't apologize for demanding access to fashion). What if just took a moment and vented it out, what if we accepted that sometimes being upset is just apart of life? Social media, looking perfect, Forever 21, Venus, and for some reason lions breath? @yesandbodypolitics Tresla: @curvykimchi Guru Shabd: @grrshubz2018-11-1335 min
