Marking a new month with a flashback to last month, when I was back in Manchester visiting a good friend @nieniedoo who celebrates her birthday today 😜💃🏿💃🏿. Happy birthday ‘me dear’. 🎂 It was a ‘refreshing’ morning and we were getting ready for The Economist Open Future Festival. We only really went for Chimamanda (see previous video post) but the rest of the festival was better than expected. So this month I’m going to be open to being surprised! 🤗
Celebrating black excellence is standard procedure on my blog and it was a pleasure to chat with @dorothykoomson_author just before she won what is basically a lifetime achievement award - the Image Award @thebbbawards. Dorothy was honoured for excelling within her field over many years and making a significant positive contribution to the standing of the African and Caribbean diaspora in the UK. #Ghanaian #blackbritish #Thursdaymotivation #thebbbawards #journalist #womenwriters #blackexcellence
‘Hope sells better than horror.’ Female genital mutilation (FGM) is usually carried out on young girls before puberty and is illegal in the UK. But the practice still occurs in various countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Somali-born British campaigner @nimkoali (OBE) speaks @theeconomist #openfuture festival a couple of weeks ago about her own experiences of FGM, why she belives African women are being stopped from becoming global spokespeople on the subject and launching The Five Foundation campaign to end FGM globally by 2030.
‘We shouldn’t make women responsible for their own oppression.’ *Snippets* of @chimamanda_adichie interview at The Economist’s Open Future Festival in Manchester that I went to with @nieniedoo over the weekend. Public policy editor, Sacha Nauta asked the questions and Chimamanda spoke on the importance of giving people space to tell their own stories, why feminism shouldn’t be an exclusive club, the importance of men in the feminism movement and why feminism should become redundant.💃🏿
On Thursday Dr Sharon Watson, artistic director of @phoenixdancetheatre won Arts & Media Leader of the Year at the @thebbbawards. In my interview with her, published on Black Ballad, she was candid and funny about her journey of a young black woman from Leeds who wanted to be a dancer, getting her chance in the 80s, rising to the top job at Phoenix and how she sees the UK contemporary dance scene. Above are just some snippets from the interview. For the full version is head over to @blackballaduk :’Dr Sharon Watson On Growing Up In Leeds, The Black British Dance Scene & BBB Awards’ #blackbritish #dance #leeds #uk #thebbbawards #blackbritishbloggers #interviewskills #blackexcellence #londonblogger #london #writer #ukblogger #motivationmonday
Do you believe in your hustle? I did a video interview with Jen & Jay from @hhlluk to chat about their social enterprise for start-up businesses, how (like many of us nowadays) they manage their side-hustles and main gigs. And being nominated for a #thebbbawards which are happening tomorrow in London. It’s the latest interview on the blog so 🛑clicking the link in my bio will take you directly to the rest of the video 📹.🛑😉 If you have a side hustle comment below on how you manage it?👇🏿
