Ep 5: Roxy Ahmad of LI-USA | Women of Color on Dating Shows, Mental Health, Random Show Thoughts

August 08, 2021 • Caitlyn • Season 2 • Episode 5

Hey folks! Welcome back to Candidly, Caitlyn (or welcome if you're new)

I am so excited about this episode with the wonderful Roxy from Love Island USA (IG: @roxyahmad)! Roxy was the first person of South Asian descent to appear on the show, so of course I had to get her onto my podcast!

We talked about the treatment of women of color on dating shows like Love Island via our lenses as a Black woman and a woman of color; Roxy shared about the mental health impact during and post-Love Island and we also gave some of our thoughts about where the season is headed.

Make sure to drop a review or comment to let me know what you think when you finish. Feel free to also give me a follow on Instagram @candidlycaitlyn.mph to keep up with me there!

Enjoy!!
