The Love Island reunion, Nicolandria, & the desirability of dark-skinned women | Special EP!
Welcome back to the Previously Anxious Podcast! It's been sooooo long guys😭 Today we decided to finally share thoughts on Love Island USA season 7, the discourse around Nicolandria, the Jana and Kenny situation, and the desirability of dark-skinned black women on reality tv!We understand that these are sensitive topics so we want to preface this video by saying that we are not seeking to offend any supporters of Nicolandria, nor are we trying to belittle black women who are seeking interracial relationships. Instead, we are hoping to shine a light on the issues that can arise when we begin praising non-black men for simply finding dark-skinned black women attractive.As always we would love to hear your opinions in the comments & we can't wait to officially start season two!💗Follow the podcast & our hosts:Tiktok/IG→ @Previouslyanxiouspod Lindsay's IG→ @BenzyfromtheblockLeah's IG→ @VatidicaSubscribe to Leah's Substack!:https://geminiwrites.substack.com/p/what-ever-happened-to-simply-disliking?r=3joo6h
