Julia and Eliza reconvene for a long-overdue Girlboss Summit where they discuss two iconic indigenous women who survived by any means necessary: La Malinche and Sacagawea. Together the girlies explore the forgotten role of female translators in building the New World and investigate the fine line between traitor and victim. Digressions include society’s rampant Michael Jackson psychosis, concert makeout etiquette, and celebs who are immune to being Woman’d.

This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.
