[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#27: India Farmer Protests, Changing Jobs, Space Tourism, Movie Remakes & Series

Episode Summary

Undesirable agricultural reforms, career change decisions, expensive spaceships & movies hitting the box office twice.

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss the Indian farmers protesting about agricultural reforms, asking why the world’s media aren’t widely reporting the story and what we can do to support their cause, how to define success in your work and know when it’s time to move jobs after singer Teyana Taylor announces her retirement from music, whether a trip to the moon is on their bucket lists or a huge waste of money as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic look set to make space tourism a reality, and if some movie remakes, sequels or threequels are better than the original movie or first movie in a series, after Disney announces Sister Act 3 and a remake of Three Men And A Baby.
