A little bit about your hosts.
Our meet cute…
Emma and Nicole first met in usual millennial fashion, when Emma slid into Nicole’s DMs.
They became fast friends and met up for wine in Brixton to talk about work but immediately formed a kinship when the conversation quickly turned into sharing stories about their backgrounds and identities.
It was then they decided they wanted to start a podcast to create a community they would’ve benefitted from when they were growing up.
