Scrumptiously Purple
By May
I'm an intersectional feminist from Myanmar currently working in Japan and in this podcast, I want to highlight any written or spoken body of works from diverse and under-represented voices. This is in part to nudge me read more books, explore voices through different lens, understand historical injustices and learn more about different cultures, starting with my own country. If you love reading, drinking coffee, cats, and most importantly discovering new literature, then this podcast might just be for you.
