"Tiktok is so much more global than any media I've ever encountered before and so much more diverse," she says. "I don't think I've engaged with it like as much as I was not allowed to know but what you're saying." She adds that her peers find a lot of Instagram the way people are in Instagram 'cringey' The pair will be appearing on BBC Radio 4 this Sunday at 8pm, followed by an appearance on Channel 4 next week.

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.
