This week on In Your Twentys, I virtually chat with the incredible host of The Bonnet Talks, Ama Appiah (@amaappiah) to chat about how she ended up applying to grad schools and eventually moving down to Washington D.C. to attend George Washington University. We then discuss what it was like growing up as dark skin girls in the 2000s, how we were both labeled as "oreos", what it means to be whitewashed, our hair journeys, and more! Scroll down for a breakdown of the episode (:
