The Narrative

This week, I speak with Reni K Amayo, an amazing author of the book Daughters of Nri, the first in the Return Of The Earth Mother series, set in the ancient Nigerian Kingdom of Nri. Not only do I fangirl over her brilliant work but we talk about how multifaceted Black women are, colorism, book-to-film adaptations and more... all from the question "What is your narrative?"

In this episode, I speak with Jessica Moss: An artist, independent curator and arts worker based in the US!

We talk about the differences and similarities of being black in the US and UK, representation in the arts, spirituality & tarot, what it's like being a mum/mom during the pandemic, and loads more!

You can find Jessica and her amazing work here -

On this episode I speak with Valerie Ebuwa, a freelance dance artist, activist, writer and model based in London. 

We talk about the naked Black female body, vulnerability & expression, representation, the patriarchy and so much more.... an open conversation all inspired from the question: "What is your narrative?"

In this episode, I speak with Julie Duodu and Stephanie Amor, the two queens behind Afro Leads - a great page dedicated to promoting UK Black businesses and culture! 

We talk about the power behind the Black Pound & Black Pound Day, supporting black businesses, and generally have an open conversation inspired by the question "What Is Your Narrative?"

On this episode I speak with Jaleesa Wells, a culture and enterprise scholar based at the University of Kentucky in the Arts Administration department.

We speak about the differences and similarities of black culture between the UK and US, ask "Where Are The Black Academics?", and just have an open conversation spurred on from the initial question "What is Your Narrative?"

Welcome to "The Narrative" and thank you so much for being here!
