#BadassBoss | Aranya Johar She is the girl behind the poems - Brown Girl's Guide to Gender & Brown Girl's Guide to Beauty, that went majorly viral in 2017 and made everybody take notice not only of this young (then teenage) girl, but also the issues that she was so passionately trying to address. Aranya has been writing since she was 11 but her affair with spoken word poetry began through her introduction to Hip Hop music. Her unique approach in representing the woes of her peers and translating them into theatrics that though are simple in linguistics but complicated in essence, has led her to become one of the most popular Gen-Z in the Indian Activism scene. Having collaborated with @akshaykumar for @padmanthefilm promotion in the past (Bleeding Rani), the 20 year old is now going to represent India at @theglobalgoals 2018 in New York, an Initiative by @gatesfoundation that brings together Global Leaders who share ideas for a more equal and prosperous future throughout the world. In this exclusive interview with BeBadass, Aranya discusses her inspirations, her intent, ageism, her internship at @buzzfeedindia, the upcoming piece - #TheGoalkeepers and much more.
