Otegha Uwagba on how Instagram fuels self-doubt more than a catwalk

Love Lives

Show Notes

This week, we’re joined by Sunday Times bestselling author Otegha Uwagba to discuss how she left the systemic racism and misogyny of the corporate world to pursue a career in writing.

We discuss everything from the paralysis of writer’s block, to how doom-scrolling on social media impacts body image.

We also discuss all things fashion, the problem with Saltburn, and if 17 minutes is an appropriate length for a voicenote.

Catch Love Lives on Independent TV and YouTube, as well as all major social and podcast platforms. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
