Refreshing
I LOVE Real Talk About Feminism. It’s a perfect mixture of fun, relatable girl talk, and education on feminism. I found this podcast while trying to educate myself on feminism a few months ago and fell in love. I listen and look forward to each episode every week. It truly feels like I’m discussing these topics with like minded friends. Absolutely love it!
