[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#33: Mental Health Act Reform, Cheating Partners, Reality TV Leg-Ups & Spying Bosses

Episode Summary

Mental Health Act UK updates, emotional vs. physical cheating, reality TV success strategies & work invasion of privacy.

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss reforms proposed for the UK’s Mental Health Act and whether the changes will be enough to tackle racial disparities in mental health care provision, if cheating is always a deal breaker or whether relationships can be rebuilt after an infidelity, if joining a reality TV show is a legitimate strategy for launching a business or career in the media, and whether companies who digitally spy on their employees while they work from home are crossing the line and how you can protect yourself. Guest starring Lauren Fernandes, Assistant Producer of Ethnically Speaking.
