Episode 5: Women Deserve Better
In this week's episode, I discuss sexual harassment and all that surrounds it. I decided to speak about this because of the recent events regarding Sarah Everard. On my personal Instagram, I asked ladies to send me their experiences with men. 13 women sent me their stories and I too spoke about my own experiences. In total amongst us 14 women, 27 experiences were shared in total.
