When I came across Somali-Swedish R&B singer Cherrie's breakout song 163 För Evigt, I needed to find a way to have her on my podcast. We talk about being a Black girl growing up in Finland and Sweden, how she and other artists in Sweden are putting R&B and rap on their music charts, and her upcoming album, which features two songs in English.

+1 SEGMENT: — The Swedish creative collective Trans94— City High (including a "What Would You Do?" rendition... featuring Cherrie + Darian)
