This week, I am reading out listener's scenarios and questions on whether certain words, behaviours or situations can be perceived as racist. From sliding into DMs and asking if someone would like cream with their coffee; assuming a person can twerk or play basketball; naming your black dog after a black person and why certain people can't use the n word even though some black people still use it! The question of the week is - Yo, Is That Racist? Inspired by the podcast of a similar name!

My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.
