22. RAYA: A Recap of a True Warrior Princess

Welcome to another episode of Mental Health Multiverse: A podcast where we mindfully break down your pop culture favs and discuss them through the lens of self care, mental health, and personal development. On this very different episode of MHM, I (LB) try to recap the conversation HB & I had recorded about RAYA from Raya and the Last Dragon — but it was, alas, lost into the technological ether [insert several crying face emojis]. While this short recap barely scratches the surface of the amazing original conversation we had, I tried my best to remember the gems we discovered while discussing topics and themes including: Trust Chosen family Greed Unity / friendship / community Grief As well as why we love Raya and our favorite quotes, characters, and themes from the movie. We also discussed Kelly Marie Tran being the voice actress for Raya and what it means for her to voice this character after being bullied off the internet: ​​https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/resurrection-of-kelly-marie-tran-on-surviving-star-wars-bullying-the-pressures-of-representation-and-raya-and-the-last-dragon-4142178/ PS: if anyone is Zoom savvy and can help us recover our lost episode…please let us know by emailing [e-mail] Thank you for listening to this episode of the Mental Health Multiverse podcast and for spending time with us!
