Annie has a new podcast to promote.
Was disappointed to see this too plus Irish writer Louise O’ Neil was also singing her praises.

Wasn’t Annie M also on Mod’s birth stories? Awks.

She’ll post about it tomorrow I think, she wouldn’t taint her publication day.
Disgusting. And surely we aren’t the only ones not to notice?

The brutal murder of that poor man and she chooses to flaunt her new book and story drinking a bottle of bolly. Chav

Still nothing in the subject - I don't get it!!!!
Me neither. Particularly as she is SO vocal about this usually.
Like others have said though, she’s got more pressing matters, such as banging on about how amazing she is and asking Alex who she is

She must have a publicist/agent nowadays... why doesn’t she caption her stories?! Does she have any concept that the VAST majority of people are watching them on silent and skipping through?!

I imagine she doesn’t bother because can you imagine how long it would take her to caption the amount of waffle that comes out of her mouth.

I’ve been listening to her audiobook. Currently she’s upset because she has to buy a secondhand bugaboo from gumtree.

I really dread to think how she's falsely representing her rise up out of the brothels by simply "manifesting" money. It's amazing she didn't start with that one before pimping other women out tbh.

I’m so pleased it isn’t only me that does this. I never listen to stories with audio actually on.

She’s too caught up in her own “success” to worry about literally anyone else or any of the issues she considers to be the be all and end all in life.
I'm all for calling out Candice for her inarticulate dribble and obsession with money. But be careful with what you say. Unfortunately these issues ARE the "be all and end all of life". At least to POC. Demonstrated by what is happening in the US just this week.

It was a bit of a strange story, it was in a chapter about finances and why managing money is harder for black people. The bugaboo bit was explained by saying black women need to work extra hard to appear presentable or like good mothers, so she needed to have the buggy as a status symbol. Even if they had to skip meals to pay for it. There was a whole bit where she feels the seller was racist towards her which was clearer to understand.

I don’t think there’s anything that unusual about buying things secondhand, and have brought quite a few things for my baby on Facebook marketplace. Maybe I’m just cheap

Also, the recording is 5 hours long which seems surprisingly short. It must be a very slim paperback.

That's interesting. I'm a white working class mum and I don't think I've ever looked at what prams other mums have. I literally couldn't give a shit I just went for the cheapest most sturdy looking. (I'm not being dismissive here I just genuinely find it interesting how people perceive things differently.)

Also remember that it was £300 Gucci shoes bought on a whim that brought down MOD as she said that Candice played the race card when called out on saying she was in debt but still spending ££££ on shoes
