The issue has reared its ugly head again so we're talking colourism. We explain why darker skinned women have the right to be angry, but why we also hope your faves still get their checks. But this discussion was wider and deeper. We revisited our first experiences of colourism, what it felt like to be the darkest in our family homes and why it is reductive to say colourism is just a black issue. Ultimately, we don't want any more black baby girls, whatever their shade to be deprived of the solidarity we all so desperately need from each other. This week, Izin was joined by the wonderful @KorkorKanor as Faizah had to focus on university work. Join the conversation using the hashtag #WTST Welcome to Working Through Some Things with Izin and Faizah. In this podcast, we put all our mess on the table and work through it, because we think too many people act like they have it all figured out and they are bloody liars. We laugh a lot and reflect a lot and we are still bad b's. New episodes every Sunday at 8pm GMT.
