INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Hi Simpletons! Happy Monday (better late than never) and welcome to another episode of ‘The Simple Stuff’. This week’s episode, in which I spoke to Ellie Gomes and Jess Macdonald, tackles the mixed race experience for young women today, from fetishization, to cultural appropriation, to Love Island’s race problem.
