“Black women are realising we ARE beautiful!”

Founder of social enterprise 'Our Mel' Annalisa Toccara talks about embracing her identity, her role in championing people of colour and why we all need to be a bit more “Bey”. The event director plays host to Jen and Kat to discuss her experience of adoption and how issues surrounding her weight have affected her life. Annalisa also talks candidly about how her struggles with mental health almost led to suicide. In this week’s Nude News, Jen’s been on her hols and has thoughts on “bikini bodies”.
