- Summary:
- High school debater TJ Powar, after she and her cousin become the subject of an ugly meme, makes a resolution to stop shaving, plucking, and waxing, and prove that she can be her hairy self and still be beautiful... but soon finds this may be her most difficult debate yet.
- TJ Powar and her cousin Simran have become the subject of a meme: with TJ being the "expectation" of dating an Indian girl and her Sikh cousin who does not remove her body hair being the "reality." TJ decides to ditch her razors, cancel her waxing appointments, and sets a debate resolution for herself: "This House Believes That TJ Powar can be her hairy self, and still be beautiful." The infuriating boy from a rival debate team seems determined to prove otherwise. As her carefully crafted sense of self begins to crumble, TJ soon realizes that he hardest judge to convince of her arguments might just be herself. -- adapted from jacket
