In this episode, I speak to my Mom.  She is a Windrush Generation Immigrant who came to this country when she was just 6 years old in the early 1960s.  Sadly my Mom's Mom passed away in childbirth when my Mom was only 8 just a couple of years after arriving in this country.  This Mothers Day Special is dedicated to my Mom.

We discussed:

• Embracing her natural hair journey and her previous hair fails.
• Arriving in this country as a young immigrant and her memories of coming to England.
• How not having a Mom around impacted her relationship with her hair. 
• Uncomfortable looks. 
• And what it's like being about being a Mom to two Mixed-race kids.
