Melina and Aditi break down Season 2 Episode 12: Out to Sea. We wrap up season 2 with a discussion on mending relationships, handling “negging” like a queen, and having deep friendships even if they’re not always (or even often) happy. We also close with a meaningful quote from a wise baboon that can help anyone who finds their life is difficult right now.

Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who is hailed as “the most prominent” of a “procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors”. The excerpt below comes from a lecture she gave at “TedxEuston”
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
We say to girls: "You can have ambition, but not too much
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful
Otherwise, you will threaten the man"
Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important (C—Candy on the ground)
Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support (Dum-dah-de-da)
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same? (Do-da-da, do-do, do-do-do-da)
