Tracey and Norma reminisce about their European childhood summer breaks, and compare the interesting differences between their own and their children’s summer time.
Other than skin tone and hair, what makes you black? Who gets to judge whats black enough? Tracey and Norma discuss the challenge of defining blackness in Europe and the USA.
Tracey and Norma discuss what it’s like to explain your accent and backgrounds to people new to your accent, plus share some background story on who they are and where they’re from.

Hi, I’m Tracey and I’m Norma, and we’re “Black Girls w/h accents”
Thanks for tuning in to our podcast about growing up black in Europe and the way this upbringing sometimes influences our perspective on American culture and politics.
For the record, I was born and raised in England to Jamaican parents and Norma was born in Suriname and raised in the Netherlands.
