This episode of Harness is with Badass Brown Activist, otherwise known simply as N. She is protective of her identity, as she is what it says on the tin: badass, brown and an activist. That combination, plus her vocal campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights in India, can attract some vicious hate. Join 15,000 people and follow her on Twitter and Instagram @badassbrownactivist for bold, unapologetic intersectional feminist content.
