Interracial dating, Ayesha Perry-Iqbal and Athena Kugblenu

No Country For Young Women
Contains some strong language and adult humour.

Available for over a year

I’ve never dated outside of my race and I wanted to hear stories from people who are. We chat about why interracial and interethnic dating isn’t the same thing, model and TV presenter Ayesha says that being British in LA actually makes more of a difference than her race and comedian Athena explains why colourism affects what we see on Instagram and the issues her parents faced in their own relationship.
