Freya India

Priya India, welcome back to Trigonometry.

Oh, it's great to have you.

Listen, when we first interviewed you, it was very clear that you were a very talented writer, but you were still, I think, working part-time in a cafe.

And since that time, your sub-stacks exploded.

You've written this great book, which I'm sure will be a big success.

You're on all the big shows now.

And I think it's because the message that you are delivering and the things that you're talking about is actually something that the entire world is now concerned about.

You know, what have you made of the journey you've had so far, if nothing else?

What makes young people and young girls especially so vulnerable?

Do you know what?

I would be terrified to be a young person who had opinion, like who did what I do now, but at the age of 25.

Yeah.
