Jameela is joined by writer & TV host Dawn O’Porter to answer all your questions about friendships; the ups and downs with our partners, siblings, and best friends. Jameela & Dawn discuss the grief experienced with the loss of a friendship, the special significance and love we have with friends, and the nuances we can’t always debrief with our partners. Dawn also shares a peek into the real life inspiration she taps into when creating the complex female friendships for characters in her books.
