This is a beautiful conversation.

Great interview! I too grew up watching Spice Girls and Mel B has always struck me as someone very confident and strong. She still has that vibe and it is great she is using it to highlight issues like abuse that so many women are shy to talk about. I feel like the misogynist voices got stronger in the past few years so they need an equally strong opposition
-
Monumental! The spice girls was gamechanging
-
Great interview! Iβve seen a few interviews of hers but this is the first to talk about her ethnicity etc.
-
Growing up I never knew she was half white. She looked fully black to me as we are the same colour. Itβs so interesting that the world saw her as black and she had to fight to be seen as mixed. Must have been hard
-
Can't believe you got such an amazing guest with such little followers and viewers! Well done I hope your podcast is successful
-
Go ladies!!!!!
-
They could never make me hate Mel B
-
She was absolutely my hair inspo. I had my mom put my hair in mini bantu knots because I saw her wear them in the Spice Girls movie!
-
Mix race here, too. We still have to continue this conversation, mixed hair or Afro still taboo, especially wigs and man and woman to embrace their identity. Go girls! Love Mel B.

What a great interview! <3

Enjoyed this excellent conversation with Mel B π€π€π€π€π€π€

A lot of black families have members of varying shades, including light, who are not mixed. I found they can also face some similar issues to mixed race people. What you identify as and what your perceived as dont allways match.

As a biracial woman I Love what you two are doing with this podcast and giving us this representation we deserve.

Mel B always struck me as a caramel version of Jane Leeves (Daphne Moon on "Frasier").
-
I would love to meet her and have a good talk. Just reminiscing on timeβ¦. She is so smart and outspoken
-
