Celebration, Vulnerability, and Community

This week we kick off with a three part series touching on neurodivergence. But before we get there, we get to know our guests. Our co-hosts - Marvyn Harrison and Darwood Grace are joined by award winning podcaster, writer and digital content creator, Chanté Joseph, head of DEI at News UK, Shelly Bishton and creative and cultural consultant Amie Snow.

They touch on nicknames in the black household - do you even have a black card if your nickname is not based on how you look? They talk about the importance of celebrating yourself when you’re single. And the jury is still out about Darwood’s relation to Fela Kuti. Tune in for this and so much more insight and banter from this weeks guests.
