Episode 71: About being a "high value" woman

On this episode Nondu gets into a few thoughts about the concept and popularisation of the "high value woman". She posits that black women already have a lot of battles and fighting to fit into the concept of being a high value woman who "exudes feminine energy", should not be part of the already long list. Through her celebration of Women's Day, Nondu champions the idea of JUST BEING because women deserve to be valued for the fact of being themselves and not their proximity/ability to appeal to men particularly.
