On this episode we have Leanne and special guest, author and entrepreneur, Aalia Lanius, We talk about her biographical fiction novel 'Tough Love', as well as the new novel she's writing, the impact of reality TV on politics and personal perceptions, going to jail at 18, growing up in a conservative family, and unlearning colourism. We also talk about her battles and triumps being a 3 time cancer survivor and living with 2 auto-immune diseases. The impact of american exceptionalism preventing americans from understanding other cultures, converting to islam in her 20's, and our 'disney-fied' ideas of love and gender. It's possibly our best Episode yet, I hope you enjoy.
