About The Break Room
From the publisher's feed
Basically, we’re two Grad students with a lot to say. We started off talking about stuff during our breaks at work then we thought it would be cool to share our “talks” with everyone. We invite listeners to think about things like mental health, identity, race, privilege (yes, we call people out), therapy, culture, society and we have so many stories to share. We also have awesome guests who join us sometimes.
