My Own Personal Brand of Heroine
My Own Personal Brand of Heroine is a podcast by two friends, Nat and Lida, who read the Twilight series at the gorgeous and impressionable age of 12. Knowing what they know now about the fame (infamy?) of the Twilight franchise, they are revisiting these books and their past selves to uncover exactly how this toxic love story made them who they are today. Okay, all jokes aside, there’s a lot to be discussed here. The good and most definitely the bad WILL be torn apart by our ravenous minds. If Twilight means anything to you, we invite you to join us on this spiral. PS. We will also be discussing the movies, duh.
