In brief: Survivors of all shapes serve as inspiration for others. Wagatwe Wanjuki is on for the full show to talk about creating space and joy for ourselves in a culture that demands all women, but survivors in particular, be perpetually selfless. It’s long past time for some real talk on the right to individual happiness.
