[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E6: Would you freeze your eggs or have a baby alone?The ladies discuss freezing their eggs and whether they would consider having a child alone. Women are constantly reminded that their biological clock is ticking, putting them under pressure to find a partner and have a baby as young as possible, but are there other options? Is the complex and expensive process of freezing eggs or embryos a luxury for the rich, or something that all women should proactively consider? What is the best age to freeze your eggs and how do you talk to a partner about the decision? Is egg freezing an insurance policy against fertility challenges...2021-12-1632 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E5: Is social media making you unhappy?The ladies discuss whether women are less happy than they used to be because of unrealistic expectations about life created by social media. Women already feel pressured to “have it all”, but does the content on social media make us feel like we’re not doing enough or falling behind those who appear to be living their best life? How do we define happiness and what do we really need to be happy? Is it possible to be happy all the time and would quitting or taking a break from social media help achieve this? Are the relationships we have o...2021-12-0932 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E4: Does the way you lose your virginity affect your future sex life?The ladies debate whether how you lose your virginity affects your attitude towards sex and your future sexual encounters. Society makes us believe the first time we have sex is a monumental moment adding to the pressure, nerves, and fear that already surround the experience, but is the concept of virginity outdated? What changes physically, emotionally, and mentally after you have sex for the first time? Do religions and cultures unfairly link women’s identities or value to their sexual activity? Does it matter how old you are when you become sexually active and do your views on intimacy, ca...2021-12-0231 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E3: Why do some women struggle to make friends with other women?Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss female friendships and why some women find it hard to make friends with other women or, in some cases, pride themselves on being one of the boys. For centuries society has pitted women against one another, causing them to see each other as competition in a narrative that some say was created by men. Are some women projecting their own insecurities onto other females? Are women able to have deeper friendships than men because they’re more vulnerable with each other? Would you trust your partner around a woman who only has ma...2021-11-2531 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E2: Would you "reverse migrate" & move to the country your parents are from?Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss whether they would ever "reverse migrate" and move to the country their parents and grandparents call home. Many families moved to the UK in search of a better life for their children but in a growing trend this generation is choosing to return to the motherland for the same reason. Are there better job prospects and more opportunities to build businesses in Africa and Asia than there are in the UK? Would you feel more accepted in the countries where you have heritage and the people look like you or be “othered” for...2021-11-1831 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGS2E1: Are women forcing monogamy on men?Ethnically Speaking is back for Season 2 and the ladies are finally all in one room! In this episode, Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss whether women are forcing monogamous relationships on men. Are there different expectations for men and women when it comes to monogamy? What role does sex play and are men using polyamorous relationships as an excuse to sleep around? Does science say humans are meant to be monogamous or is having one partner at a time an outdated concept dreamed up by society? The ladies are exploring all angles in this episode of Ethnically Speaking...2021-11-1133 min[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKINGMonah, Nushy Rose & Sophie Hannah welcome you to Season 2Ethnically Speaking is back for Season 2!

her father, Jamie Spears, a licensed conservator, and a financial company control over her finances, career, medical care, and other aspects of her personal life for the last 13 years, after Britney Spears tells a judge that she has been drugged, forced to perform against her will, and prevented from marrying or having children by the “abusive” and traumatising

wear too much make-up or is it a personal choice?The ladies discuss whether it is misleading for a woman to create dramatically different before and after looks using make-up, if there’s such a thing

necessary alternative to current UK news channels?The ladies discuss controversial new UK news channel, GB News, which features partisan anchors and guests who appear to be passionate about right-wing

broadcasters like BBC News, Sky News and Channel 4 News.--------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION #EthnicallySpeakingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unitedmelanincoFacebook:

whether there are medical conditions that they would like potential love interests to declare upfront, after dating apps Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble sign a partnership with the UK government to show a ‘vaccine status badge’ on user profiles and UK sexual health doctors warn of a surge in the rate of sexually transmitted diseases as dating resumes post

with The Queen being exempt from race & gender equality laws?The ladies discuss recent revelations that Buckingham Palace banned “coloured immigrants and foreigners” from working in office roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s and that the Queen is still exempt from race and gender equality laws (meaning that individuals working for her household cannot launch legal complaints regarding discrimination in the UK courts), and ask why the Queen gets to be above the law and whether it’s enough to uphold the spirit of the law when there are no legal consequences for discriminatory acts.
