‘I try to be as real as possible’: Eight things we learned from Candice Carty-Williams on Woman’s Hour
Emma and Candice also discussed the safety of women and girls in society, the adultification of Black girls and why we should value ‘found families’ more. Here are some of the things we learned from their conversation… “I have a lot of found family and that's really, really important to me," says Candice."A lot of people I would say, that’s just my sister. I have half siblings. I have step siblings.
“I even have to keep crystals in my car, because driving around South London is the worst. I'm always ready to fight someone. I've almost gotten into a fight so many times. But I don't want to be seen as an angry Black woman, even though I think that Black women often have a right to be angry.” “Since I was like eight, it was just time to grow up and to parent and to be strong and to face everything. There were so many years of my life where I was not allowed to be a kid. There is so much we need to think about. We need to give attention to the damage that our families do.”
