How many of us who grew up in the hood have a funny story that would make the room fall silent if shared in the wrong space? Fola reminisces on having to wear lace up shoes so she could run home after the dance at the age of 14 and Rukiya thinks about all of the ridiculous experiences she had to hide from her mum. This week’s submission makes the duo reflect on the bittersweet and just beautiful side of growing up in the notorious hood of Hackney! TW: sexual assault is mentioned in this episode.
