“Beyond the Veil” Episode 6: “Hermione Granger and the Importance of Self-Acceptance”
Every day we’re affected by societal pressures that want to push us into certain boxes based on our race, gender, sexuality, and more. When we start to believe these ideas about ourselves, it can have a negative impact on our mental health. In our interview with Sarah Olivares, we discuss her experiences with internalized misogyny, the impact of the Potter series on her perception of her gender, and how to fight off the Dementors of depression. You can listen to this episode down below or on our podcast page.
