  • Surviving the Teenage Years (a deep dive ft. Maya)

    Hello everyone! Today we had an amazing interview with the one... THE ONLY... MAYA! Maya is one of our close friends from school, and was such a great person to interview. We had a great conversation about so many insightful topics about what life is like for so many teens dealing with discrimination and mental health issues. We cover everything from balancing different cultures, growing up ethnic in the US, eating disorder, mental disorders, young relationships, and just life in high school. Enjoy!

    PS (Sorry if the audio seems a little bumpy, the mic had to be handed around!)
