Purity culture is more than abstinence education. But how far does it go? In this episode Laura and Tia widen the lens and explore the impacts of a purity mindset on racism, history, fundamentalism, book bans, current events, and more. We also take a closer look at Ozempic and Oprah, as well as a highly entertaining game of TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE. 

Stay fresh, betches!
