Joined by guest co-hoat Evoluer House alum and immigrant fashion designer Jennielee, the girls engage in an honest discussion on the school environment for girls that look like them in various high school settings.

The episode concludes with a powerful contribution from Jennielee, sharing her perspective as a Latina girl whose first language is not English. Aniya passionately emphasizes the hope that by sharing their experiences, they can contribute to creating a learning environment where basic needs are met, fostering genuine awareness and understanding.
