On episode 16 of Texture Talks I'll be joined by Author and Model Zainab Kwaw-Swanzy, about the challenges that come with dating and romance when you're a part of the afro and curly haired community.

We also discuss some of the nuances when dating both inside and outside your own culture, and debate the concepts around preference vs prejudice when it comes to what men want.

As the writer of an amazing book celebrating the cultural history of Black hair, A Quick Ting On The Black Girl Afro, which covers a gamut of topics related to Black hair, including the history and politics of the afro, microaggressions and cultural appropriation, Zainab also has written about dating with curly hair for Black Ballad (READ HERE) making her a brilliant guest to join this conversation.
