In this week's episode, I talk to Malika Dua, a comic, content creator, and actor. Mallika has had an interesting start to her journey as a content creator when her first video got viral and how to post that she navigated herself in a completely new world and a new city. She decided to take on content creation as a full-time job, leaving her comfortable advertising job behind.

In this episode, we speak about why she champions sisterhood, online dating, how she handles creative blocks, and what keeps her going in spite of so much online hate and so many ups and downs.
