Show notes

We are BAAAck! Happy New Month of September! In this episode, I'm reminiscing my 2021 summer but also my childhood summers. You will discover why you will not receive that reply from an Italian company in Mid August. Part of my summer consisted in being glued to the TV screen for the Olympics, I speak on the exclusion of way too many Black African women based on the idea that "they're not women enough". Unfortunately, this happens also when it comes to dating life, especially in the Western World, and the Love Island UK reality show has reminded me once again that this is the case. Is it because women of colour are unattractive or is it because they're where they are not appreciated? let's find out in this episode. Enjoy Xxx
