Listen "Celebratings wins and lows, self-care politics and journalling in the social media age"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode I speak about navigating the wins and losses of adulthood, debate the constructs and conventions of womanhood and decide different ways to practise self-care in the social media age - from drawing on radical collective politics to the simple practice of journalling. Briefly touching on some of the literature I've read - from Audre Lorde's "Use of the erotic", to Avna Doshi's "burnt sugar" and Tsitsi Dangarembga's "This mournable body", I talk about the duality of identity and how it is a fluid space I am constantly floating upon.
