This episode is about a topic that has bugged Talica for a while now, namely because the unnecessary commentary in regards to being a single woman in your 20’s-30s.

Today’s episode topic was influenced by a viral tweet this week that made its rounds across international Polynesian Twitter in regards to Polynesian men stating that for certain reasons they prefer White women over Polynesian women.
