Episode notes

I lived in Ghana for about six months many many years ago about 15 years and it was there where I realized after maybe two months or so of you know just like constant heat and warmth and sunshine that I was actually craving the particularly like damp. "What is wrong with me like I've literally spent my life complaining trying to flee from it and now I feel myself like craving it" he says. 'Ireland's damp is such a particular damp like it is part of how mystical it can feel'

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

Producer Note: You'll notice a slight change in Katherine's audio in the second half of the podcast. This is just due to a necessary 'source switch', where we had to change where her recording was coming from. Your ears will adjust very quickly but apologies for the ever so slight dip. Thank you!

This week Katherine talks to Emma Dabiri, author of Don’t Touch My Hair and What White People Can Do Next.

What begins as a conversation about Emma’s new-found commitment to appreciating all the seasons - not just summer - becomes something else entirely. Emma is one of our most agile thinkers and fearless speakers, and soon she is talking about everything from race and class to how we should think about the world right now. A thread of belonging runs through it all - how we seek and find it, how complicated our identities have become, and why it matters.
