A member of my own family was driven out of her village in Malawi as a child after she was accused of being a witch due to having a white father - a fate that could have been my own if our places of birth were simply swapped.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Six Degrees","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50417636737355,"sku":"1139872","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green | LP","offer_id":50417637097803,"sku":"1118375","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/df5ed36a-ae6e-4b89-95bd-2d1b9b0544ef_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726734244"},{"product_id":"let-s-make-love","title":"Let's Make Love","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrazilian Girls'\u003c\/strong\u003e album \u003cem\u003eLet's Make Love\u003c\/em\u003e is now available here on LP and CD.
