Description

TW: brief mentions of suicide and overdosing
Little Mix just made history as the first female group to win Best British Group at the 2021 Brit Awards, and they used their acceptance speech to call out white male dominance, sexism, and lack of diversity in the music industry. With over 60 million records sold in their 10-year career, what leads the biggest girl group in the world to call out these injustices?
In this episode, we discuss the highs and lows of Little Mix’s career including being cyber-bullied, fat-shamed, and slut-shamed, which ultimately led them to advocate for women’s empowerment and speak out on other issues like racism and colourism.
