Following Misha B sharing her truth about her time on the show, Rory discusses the experience of Black women on The X Factor - both in front of and behind the camera - with Ray Sang and Teeyana Aromi, hosts of the Rhymeshe podcast.  From Gamu's shock exit from the contest in 2010 to Mel B being groped by Louis Walsh live on Xtra Factor in 2014, this episode aims to establish what the lasting legacy will be for Black women on The X Factor.
