In our final episode with Gingham Frill, we talk about relationships - both past and present. We talk about the ups and downs of being with someone long term, being able to recognise red flags, and how we keep it spicy ;-)

Join us as we discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, police brutality, systemic racism, and how white people can be allies to the black community. Keep in mind that we are two white women that are trying to help other white people understand what the issues are, this is definitely not a lecture to black people about their experience!

We're always learning, so if we've said something factually incorrect, get in touch and let us know!
