'I'm Bengali, my boyfriend was black - and my mum freaked out'
Salma left home when her family urged her to get an abortion. Later she challenged her mum's anti-black prejudice.
When a young British Bengali woman with a black boyfriend got pregnant, her family's reaction forced her to confront their anti-black prejudices.
Her mother told 16-year-old Salma: "They only want to get you pregnant."
When she hugged her, she would quickly feel her stomach. "You won't amount to much dating one," her mum said when she found out about the boy next door.
Salma found out her partner had been with another woman the whole time and that she too had just given birth. It was as though her mum's worst fears about black men had come true, her stereotypes confirmed.
She had another child with the same partner, who later walked out on her for good.
