Dolly Parton, Drag Queens, and Dumplin’! Yes, y’all! This week we are exploring Julie Murphy’s “Dumplin’” in relation to our own self-esteem, the toxicity of society’s endorsement of Fatphobia, and the importance of role models and female relationships. Dani and Izzie also discuss the question: do leagues really exist? Talking about Dolly Parton allows Dani to express her undying love for country music and Nashville. Meanwhile, Izzie gives another #stoolstatus and speaks the truth about why we deserved a better ending to this novel. Follow us on Instagram @daniandizzie, Tik Tok @daniandizzie, or send us an email at [email protected]
