Interracial relationships, narcissistic men and Love Island, with Candice Brathwaite

This week, Olivia speaks to Candice Brathwaite. Candice is the bestselling author and journalist, whose debut book, I Am Not Your Baby Mother, about being a black British mother, was a roaring success.


She joins Olivia to discuss her second book, Sista Sister, a collection of essays about the things Candice wishes she knew when she was growing up, covering everything from family and friendships to money and dating.


They discuss the complexities surrounding interracial relationships and Candice explains why she advises black women to always “go where the love is”.


They also discuss what drives women towards narcissistic men, how we can rectify the power imbalance between men and women in straight relationships, whether Love Island’s diversity problem can ever be fixed, and the microaggressions that Candice has experienced in the so-called “mummy blogger” sphere.
