These demented divas will set off your triggers in this turmeric-infused satire of wellness and celebrity, with hilarious original songs.

#FirstWorldWhiteGirls: Spirit Animal is a one-hour, laugh-a-minute social satire featuring Tiffany and Madison, two over-privileged narcissists who worship at the altar of fame, wealth and social media. On top of that, they are (self-proclaimed) wellness gurus who are eating kale and living their truth - and they want you to live their truth too. As toxic as a Trump tweet and as outrageous as a Brazilian butt lift, these demented divas are guaranteed to set off all your triggers in this turmeric-infused cocktail of wellness coaching, killer original songs and should-I-laugh social commentary.

And beneath its light and fun appeal, the show also delivers serious commentary on the currently growing divide between the privileged and the disenfranchised, as well as a number of significant statements with respect to issues affecting women including body image and self-esteem.
