Can you ever really go back? Sociologist Sylvie sits down with the author of The Second Time We Met to discuss navigating family drama, romance, and starting over.


Yaggayoo! In the Season 1 finale, I am joined by Frances Mensah-Williams. We dive into her novel about second chances and the cultural "Wahala" that comes with family expectations.


We explore the nuances of interracial relationships, the pressure of "keeping up appearances" within the community, and whether love can truly survive a checkered past.
