Being a woman has never been easy and when the going gets tough, we can all use a homegirl to lean on. Join entertainment host Brigitte Truong each week as she meets with courageous guests who have found their lane despite the odds. From business failures to mental health, sex to hate crimes, the candid discussions you hear will give you a new perspective on how freeing and empowering it can be when you own your story. Let’s make it easier to talk about tough things when it comes to womanhood because when we do, we’ll see that we’re more alike and connected than we think.

The 2023 awards season has seen a lot more diversity and representation compared to years past. The 95th Academy Awards has asian nominees represented in 16 categories with Everything Everywhere All At Once really leading that charge with 11 nominations but we’re still struggling to see black leads and female directors recognized. Entertainment journalist and film critic Marriska Fernandes joins the podcast to discuss the mounting pressure on the industry to diversify, her personal journey in film as a woman of colour and the role of critics in today's digital world.
Let’s meet the wildly talented, Marriska.
