They highlight the importance of narratives in shaping minds and discuss the historical context and implications of book censorship, particularly concerning women's voices and bodily autonomy. They discuss Rachelle's most recent book about Judy Blum which explores Blume's capacity to write about universalities through the voice of a single character and bring to focus the experiences of teens and young adults.

The conversation underscores the significance of storytelling, education through fiction, and advocating for women's freedom and health.
