Toni gets into ALL of it this episode, from the halo effect, to that very attractive felon Jeremy Meeks, to Toni's own personal experiences with pretty privilege.

Love Island is only one week into its 13th season and already the same conversation has taken over social media. Once again, representation is at the forefront of everyone's minds, and Toni herself has thoughts. Black women on the show continue to face the same recurring challenges: being overlooked by the male contestants and consistently feeling like they're getting the short end of the stick. But is it time we start being strategic about this platform...

And that's not all, Toni and Producer Annisha are back to solve your dilemmas in Tea Time With Toni. This week: do you choose the inconsistent man with the spark, or the safe man with stability? Plus, what do you do when you don't get a job you were more than qualified for?

Are you dealing with a cheater or just not feeling excited in your relationship anymore...then this episode is for you! This week Toni delves into a subject a lot of us may try very hard to avoid even though we know it's the right thing to do. When is the right time to walk away? It's a question deep down in our heart we know the answer to but it's just a bit too scary to face.

This week Toni is joined by Producer Annisha for Teatime with Toni where they're solving your dilemmas! Then in the Sisterhood Spotlight, Toni is getting into the debate that never seems to end — bare minimum vs princess treatment  BUT we are de-bunking the phrase princess treatment, and coining it ‘going above and beyond’ instead. Because at what point did we start calling basic care and love a luxury? Toni is getting into it all.

We've all been there: Having to push back on expectations foisted upon us by others. From partners expecting you to take their name, to parents expecting you to follow a certain path, and even just the wider societal expectation of meeting suppose life milestones by a certain age, in this episode, Toni and Producer Annisha explain how we actually find our own way and make sure we're making choices because we want to rather than because we're feeling the pressure from external sources.
