YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We all have questions we secretly wonder about but are too afraid to ask.

Nayeema Raza, who hosts the podcast “Smart Girl Dumb Questions,” tells us we should embrace our curiosity.

“Curiosity is one of these skills that I think we have in spades as children,” Raza says. “And we actually continue to have it as adults. But we're like closeted curious people.”

Now, through her podcast, “I get to ask whatever I want to ask and be as smart or dumb as I hope to be on a given day,” she says.

Watch her #BriefButSpectacular take on curiosity and “Smart Girl Dumb Questions.”
