Hello, this is my podcast series Focus on the Color. The focus of this podcast is to bring out the different perspectives females have on what defines women and the term feminist. I called this podcast "Focus on the Color" to express that we need to look at the colorful side and not the dark. This podcast is meant to express and embrace different perspectives on what it means to be a woman, so please share your story with me by direct messaging me on Instagram @vaidehi_02. Thank you so much for listening.
