It got to the point where I can’t even listen to the show anymore because it makes me so frustrated. I know Ada just gets excited but it comes off as very demeaning. Hanifa’s opinions and stories are always glossed over or made to feel stupid because Ada keeps interrupting her. I noticed in the reviews that I’m not the only one who feels this. I really wish they would add... more

  • Loving this show!

    The show is great and I love their content! Seriously makes me want to visit London and have a sampling of their lives.

    I just wish Hanifah wasn’t interrupted so often, or talked over, or told her opinions are incorrect. I’d loved to hear more from her unfiltered and uncensored.

    Great job ladies! You make my day a bit sunnier!
