The Figure

This March, we unpick Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey and address the impact the British press has on society's perception of her. We also look at sexual harrassment in the UK and the importance of accountability, as well as talking about our definitions of home in relation to Charlie Mackesy's illustration.
