They chat about the importance of empathy while working with a crew of people to bring a creative vision to life, how creativity cannot be taught and how queer stories in the media need to be more than stories of struggle, but rather stories of the LGBTQIA+ community as ordinary people.    Shop the look here: www.westside.com Follow Westside here: https://www.instagram.com/westsidestores   CREDITS: Guests: Antara Bhide, Priyakanta Laishram Executive Producer: Umashan Naidoo Creative Director: Liana Deboo Created by Westside   This is a Maed in India production.
