Prickly Peers
Have you ever wondered why some brown women can stand up to norms and stereotypes more easily than the rest of us? We call them prickly women! Is prickliness inherent or inherited, can you build the prickly muscle to be able to achieve your goals more easily, where do you lie on the prickly meter? Join Ankita and Nalini, your prickly peers, as they talk to uninhibited brown women all over the world in a quest to find the secret brown sauce for their courage, success and happiness.
