Summary
On July 18, 2022, 29 year old Sania Kahn was gunned down in her Chicago apartment by her estranged husband. We...do not have the words for what a freaking BADASS Sania was. She was a photographer and influencer who shared with the world not just her incredible art, but also her struggles of being a first generation Pakistani-American woman trying to live up to the expectations of her parents while at the same time living our her dreams. This could have been a 49 part 274 hour long series based just on the number of friends who LINED UP to share stories of how wonderful and generous and hilarious AND TRULY LITERALLY BRILLIANT Sania was. We have nothing to say here about the piece of S**T killer who murdered her in her prime, so you'll have to listen to the episode to hear us scream about him there. Ugh. OK, we got this, fam!

We're also recording this on a Thursday, so that's something that is similar to the thing. This is our third bonus episode. It's that series Deadly Influence, Season 1, episode 2. This is called TikTok Terror, which I think is a terrible name for what this is. That's the thing when we get these episodes that are well done, but like they have to do the salacious title. We don't appreciate it. What is this? I know. Do you think the world is still going to be here in April? I don't know. It's a really good question. We really, like, we should make these just in case.
