Summary

Welcome the formidable, the brilliant, the unapologetic Drew and Deison Afualo! Our fourth and fifth Maher sisters today are reigning queens of roasting and lesbian romances. First up: One of our sisters you may know as the woman who built a throne on the rubble of misogyny, armed with an unmistakable laugh and a take-no-prisoners attitude. She’s a TIME100 Creator, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and the first Samoan woman to become a New York Times bestselling author with her book, Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve. Her sister Deison and partner-in-crime is the cohost of their chart-topping podcast, Two Idiot Girls, and she’s a powerhouse creator all her own. She’s a fierce advocate for queer Pasifika representation, a writer, and a comedian - She's also passionate about lesbian sports romances, which we get into in detail. You asked for it!
