#9 Episode 9 - Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow by Damilare Kuku

Loading player...

Temi's annoucement that she wants to have a Brazilian butt lift causes shock and outrage amongst the women in her family. Why does she want to do this? Damilare Kuku sensitively, expertly and at times hilariously explores how the shape of a woman's body can shape their lives and other events that bring us together or pull us apart. This is an independent podcast and all views and opinions expressed are my own. Trigger warnings for the review and book: sexual harassment, bullying, sexual abuse.
