This week on FREEda's World, I am joined by my dear friend and supporter Layo Gbadamosi! She has also been inducted into the FREEda Women hall of fame! On this episode we discuss the hit HBO series Insecure! As female attorneys of color, we have a lot to say about Molly who is played by Yvonne Orji Molly plays an attorney on the show. Often times as professional women we are always under the watchful eye of EVERYONE both in and out of the work place. At work we are undervalued and under appreciated. Our family and friends will always find reasons to scrutinize our lives. The social media trollers are always questioning our "wokeness" because we "play the game" #issastruggle ya'll! So go grab your cup and join us as we share our personal experiences and cast our opinions on the show and these VERY real scenarios. *We are proud to announce that our FREEda Woman of the week is my esteemed colleague and former work wife Marly V.
