TRIGGER WARNING

This episode is a serious, frank and open discussion between 5 women of colour as we discuss racism, how it has impacted our every day lives and continues to affect some aspects of our working lives as celebrants here in the UK and Malaga, Spain.

I make no apologies that some people listening to this podcast may be upset by some parts of the discussion, because it IS a discussion that needs to be held in communities all over the country.
