Blackface on holiday and Charlene White

BBC Radio 1Xtra - If You Don't Know, Blackface on holiday and Charlene White

The realities of travelling when you’re black, and TV presenter Charlene White drops in.

When social media star Munya Chawawa posted a picture from his holiday in Spain of people in blackface, it got us talking about what it’s like going abroad when you’re black. Travel blogging couple Jason and Sekai tell us about their experiences and give us a few tips.

We also sit down and share the tea with the iconic Charlene White, the first black woman to present ITV News at Ten and Loose Women.
