Maalvika sits down with Lebanese-British journalist and author, Zahra Hankir to talk about her latest book, Eyeliner: A Cultural History.

(Not) live from Chicago, It's Saaaaaturday night! From pages of Maalvika's journal to your ears -- she talks about moments in her life that made her rethink/reframe her relationship to other girls, doubt, external validation, career goals, and confrontation.

Maalvika talks about why self-worth is to life like salt is to cooking. It just makes everything better!

Real self-worth is tied to what we accept for ourselves, while false self-worth may stem from external factors like physical appearance or institutional affiliations.
Building on this understanding, Maalvika outlines ten concrete methods to boost self-esteem and foster a positive self-image.
