Diaspora Blues

Today's show is all about what makes us adults and the factors that allow us to transition from teen hood. The show questioned what it means to be an adult, why adulthood is important and most importantly to how do we define it. Khushi included a personal diary entry that reflects on the media influence on adulthood as well.

Today’s show is all about self-care and being content with who you are as a person. Our new host Khushi Jadhav took the reins today and had a little chat with Ayan about role models, self-care and our journey to confidence. Also, we included three crowd favourites: Pick up Your Feelings Ms Jackson Brown Skin Girl Taking off…Diaspora Blues.
