Relationships are tough \u2013 sexual relationships, family relationships, friendships \u2013 because we all have stuff. We're all flawed and make mistakes. Candice Carty-Williams' brilliant debut book Queenie\xad is all about living with our stuff and understanding our value.

In this week's episode, Candice and I had a very frank conversation about the themes in her book. We talked about sex, and the importance of women having sexual agency. We talked about online dating, interracial dating and the damaging reductive stereotypes that surround black women\u2019s bodies.

What I loved most about Queenie and my conversation with Candice is the message of self-worth \u2013 something I think we all have to remind ourselves of on a regular basis. But it's true, whoever you are \u2013 you are enough.

Enjoy listening. And mad, mad love to you all.
