But also, get therapy
Yo, so you’re here now. We’re Mel and Halima, two best friends from West London navigating the world together. From relationships, healing our inner children, being raised by first generation immigrant parents, and to figuring out our identities. We’re about to explore it all. Learn from our mistakes… but also, get therapy!
