In this episode, we are joined with Marcel Wibawa as we talk about the Intersectional nature of Migration and how we understand our need to play a more active role in addressing inequalities that persist. Marcel is a Law Major who seeks to approach International Law in an alternative way. Join us as we discuss our journeys in playing a more active role in our respective fields.
In this episode we will be discussing a show that we both recently watched: Never Have I Ever! We will talk about how we think the show portrays single-hood as told from the perspective of the female characters- Devi, her mother Nalini, and her cousin Kamala- and how their identities affect their experiences of single-hood throughout the show! You can watch season 1 of Never Have I Ever on Netflix.

In this episode, we talked about our attempts to navigate through different cultures while dating. We used the commonly asked question, " Udah punya pacar belum ( Do you have a partner yet?)" , as mere starting points for a larger discussion on dating and marriage. In the second part of the episode, we further analysed our approach to marriage and the importance of financial independence, being raised Third Culture.
