The Musician Diaries

In todays episode i got to sit down and talk to THE AMAZING KELLIN HANAS! I say this with all my episodes, but this was so fun to film. We talked about literally everything regarding sexism in the music industry,  including our experiences, harassment, feeling safe, etc. it was almost therapeutic to be able to talk about some of these issues, and i hope that at the very least, you can relate to something we are saying haha.

Anyway, I LOVE YOUUUU, and stay safe :)
