Summary

This episode is all about comfort in challenging times and staying true to yourself. We talk with a paragon of creating cozy feelings, Jenny Han, the author behind the book and Netflix series To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

How to decide what to say yes to?

How do you take time for yourself?

How do you deal with gatekeepers (usually white) who want to see characters of color grappling more directly with their racial identity?

What can we expect from the final To All the Boys movie?

Which Little Women character are you?

All this AND Aminatou confesses that she is squeamish about romances like Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton.
