If there is a laundry list of what constitutes a good brown girl, there’s an even longer laundry list of all that constitutes a bad brown girl. Tattoos, drinking and having a sexuality are just the beginning. In my case, I’m 100% the black sheep of my family - SURPRISE SURPRISE - because I very much go against the small box that historically has been made available to me; or I’m accessing parts of life that the women in my lineage have not been granted access to before.
In this episode, I chat with an incredibly powerful woman, Barinder Rasode, who I’ve looked up to for years, who I was lookin ..read more

To be a woman is to not get comfortable settling in. It’s the constant being told your home is the next one or the one you came from before. To be a woman is to not have a home, and to be looked at, called names, outcasted if you do. It’s to be denied the p ..read more

Ghosting is the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. Ghosting is also the theme of host Harpo's love life. And probably for all the other millennials out there, because everyone loves to ghost. But ghosting? At our big age? Not cool. Harpo has been majorly ghosted often and each time, it sparked a ton of hurt and insecurity, yes, but it also deepened her self-love practice. Listen now to hear all about it.
