To do this, I first  need to discuss what got me into watching “Netflix’s She-Ra” (for I really didn’t start watching this series right away). When I first  saw this concept (Picture, Center) & the teaser, it triggered a lot of debate, I myself didn’t know if this would be a show that I’ll be interested to watch (despite the fact it’s a show intended for a different audience). Then it wasn’t until during my time in Lima that
