CW: racism, suicide
Once upon a time, in a mystical kingdom built on colonialism, fear and emotional repression, a lost prince fell in love with an American lifestyle blogger. On entering the castle, an evil queen stole her voice, and our lifestyle blogger learned she would have to endure racism, isolation and flesh-coloured tights in stoic silence for the rest of her days, until finally! She and her prince escaped to a far-off land of opportunity, Madea movies and 16-bathroom homes, where she found her voice once more — just in time to share it with the nation’s Queen of Talk. Did the interview live up to the hype? Listen in and find out! And may that old castle crumble and its monarchy fall... that’s our happily ever after. -
