In this episode, Kirthi and Vaishnavi chat with Angellica Aribam. Angellica is a political activist and a fourth wave feminist. For more than half a decade, Angellica has been working on issues of race, gender, student welfare and the democratization of politics. Hailing from Manipur, in the ethnically and economically marginalized northeastern region of India, she was motivated to get involved in politics by experiencing injustice and discrimination firsthand, realizing that politics was the best way to change this status quo. She was the first student from the northeastern region of India to be elected in the Delhi University Executive Committee, India's prominent student body, and she was named one of Forbes India's “30 Under 30” in 2017. She is also a former National General Secretary of the National Students’ Union of India, the students' wing of the Indian National Congress.

With a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry from University of Delhi and a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Peking University, China, Angellica is on a quest for learning. As a staunch advocate for gender and racial rights, she regularly writes for various Indian publications including The Indian Express, The Wire, DailyO amongst others. In her spare time, she loves to read, cook, and model.
