Episode Notes
Traci is a single, professional woman looking for love. She builds furniture in her spare time, enjoys dancing, and can’t believe she has to devote an hour each day to swiping through photos and sending flirty texts. Traci’s quest for romance is made all the harder by the fact that, as a black woman, she has to put up with more nonsense than usual. In this episode of How To!, we ask Thirst Aid Kit hosts Nichole Perkins and Bim Adewunmi to share their insights on modern desire. They revamp Traci’s profile, swap stories, and share tips about how to thrive at online dating.
