Join us on this episode with Ioni Laidler-McBean, a mixed race British-Jamaican queen who hails from somewhere in the Midlands that I probably won't be able to locate on the map. We talk about the obsession with having straight hair as a young black girl in school, plucking mangoes from the streets, Ackee & Saltfish, feeling neither Black or White enough in the inner circles and having prolonged childhood crushes. Ioni is a corporate project manager but also runs a black curly hair empowerment page @curlymunday in which she shares amazing tips and her beautiful head of hair! All opinions and statements are entirely of our own and unaffiliated to any external organisations, please reach out to @kittysaloni or @ionibean for comments or questions. #Gen2Point0
