Say hellooo to Season 4, Episode 4 of Mads World. My Type on Paper: Female Empowerment, Sexuality and Dating with Sharon Gaffka. This week I am joined by Sharon Gaffka, who starred in the latest season of Love Island in 2021. Before her journey in the villa, Sharon was a civil servant for the Department of Transport in the UK, as well as a former beauty queen. She was also Miss International UK in 2018.  Sharon is passionate about female empowerment, and there were times in the villa when other islanders were intimidated by her career ambitions. She also had a discussion about her sexuality, and her experiences dating as a mixed-race woman in the UK, which ITV chose not to air.  Up next you’ll hear my chat with Sharon all about her time on Love Island, as well as her perspectives on modern expectations of women, sexuality and the stigma of bisexuality, and dating as a mixed-race woman in the UK.
