It's a mess over in Tokyo-- more Olympics controversy over composer Keigo Oyamada's bullying past, last-minute cancellation talks, sponsorships falling through... The UK isn't doing much better. 'Freedom Day' drew hundreds of people to the club, hundreds of thousands of people (including us) are getting 'pinged' by the NHS to self-isolate, and we most likely will not be able to travel to the U.S. in August as we planned. #AskJoanna: If YOU have any questions about being in a mixed-race, culture, or diet relationship, or about living abroad, please leave me a DM on Instagram.
