The closet is opening for the final time this season and on the agenda today:

Candice unloads a childhood confession which shows where you start isn’t where you end up, why Sarel likes to pretend she was brought up in the hood, why we’re sick of people playing dumb on why black women are single, Sarel confesses to twerking to a specific genre of music, why ultimately you always have to be you for the universe to give you what you deserve, and a confession from ‘The Exhausted Black Woman Engineer’.
