In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics, from the competition within the industry, being born in privilege & nepotism to stark realities of motherhood & being a woman that not many address and how the arts act as a medium to have such discussions & challenge society’s moulds.

We also touch upon how as women there is an ingrained sense of imposter syndrome caused by the society we live in that makes us question our worthiness of any acclaim no matter how hard we work for it. And how collaboration and sisterhood with women is what slowly rebuilds us as a collective, with shared experiences and support systems.
