Aminatou and Ann are the co-hosts of the podcast Call Your Girlfriend, co-authors of the book Big Friendship, and long-distance best friends. Their podcast made their friendship public, but behind the scenes, their geographic distance turned into emotional distance, and they realized had to find a way to re-connect.

You can find their podcast at callyourgirlfriend.com, find their book at bigfriendship.com, and find them on Twitter and Instagram at @aminatou and @annfriedman.
