Reviewing Essential Feminist Book Titles with Amanda Chong

It's been a while since our last episode, but that's because WE'VE BEEN READING! That's right, if you've come across bookstagram, booktube and now booktok, you'd know that reading is IN now. On this episode, we chat with Amanda Chong, lawyer, poet, and co-founder of ReadAble, to discuss some essential feminist reads - except they aren't the usual picks you'd expect.

Is it a Toxic Relationship, or Have You Been Groomed Online?

It usually starts off with a simple "Hello, you're cute", but can quickly escalate to a sexually explicit message.

Between looking out for big age gaps, grand gestures of love, how do we know if it's a case of being groomed?

The 26-year-old entrepreneur who's living in Bali today shares with us her journey from struggling with how she looks, to starting her business.

It's 2021… I don't know about you, but we're rejecting outdated notions of beauty society has imposed on us! We take what makes us feel good on the inside, and leave behind what doesn't! Take it from Kate Low, who grew up in the era of Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows (push up bras, flat tummies, long slender legs).

Although many of us feel shame in talking about our g******s, when we're asked to think about what a "normal" vulva looks like, we have an image in our minds: small, pink, hairless, tucked in... In reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. So why is there so much shame we experience in talking about our g******s, and how do we battle the need to have "normal" looking parts?
