Hair! Ohmigosh it’s everywhere. Do we love or hate it?

"if you were white, you'd be pretty" The last ep of the series I am joined by the wonderful Amelia Benjamin. We think back from as earliest of 5 years old when we had racism thrown our way. We talk colourism, and how it can make us feel small and unwanted. Change is what we want, and education is a big part of that. Tune in to hear more.

Ever felt Boxed In? // There’s positives by Shining a Voice on your community // How do you step out off the box? We talk school/university experiences. Microaggressions/people skills and how it can affect us. @kaya.aftab @patsyaysha

I bring to you today, Alex. Confidence, self worth, self belief is so key to fighting, where you want to be in life. 97% of the time (just made that number up) stuff doesn't just fall on your lap. You need to work hard and of course play harder. Does changing your name make any difference to job applications? Was black out Tuesday just a fad? Tip from Alex: Don't forget to wash your hands and wear a face mask! Stay Safe. @blaxkcurrent_podcast @patsyaysha @awalters_

What’s good people? On this ep we talk about some uncomfortable situations that we have been through growing up. @samtomharris @patsyaysha

I welcome Seun on this ep. A really good friend of mine and we talk sisterhood. What it means to be an ally... and dating. @louiseogunnaike @patsyaysha ✨

Your time, your energy, your peace is precious. We talk about the black lives matter movement, dating, racist “friends” and knowing where to place our energy. Insta: @jaydeedyerofficial @patsyaysha

Welcome to blaxkcurrent chats with Patsy Aysha. On today's ep I'm joined with a very special family friend of mine, Seun. Seun, and I grew up in similar areas and always felt like the odd one out.

Welcome to this mini series "blaxkcurrent Chats" hosted by Patsy Aysha. I am joined by Jasmine currently based in Dubai.  We talk about being mixed race. The difficulties, the struggles other people bring upon us.   insta: blaxkcurrent_podcast patsyaysha 

Blaxkcurrent chats hosted by Patsy Aysha A mini series all about race. In this episode we talk growing up first generation in Britain, the affects of colourism and how to keep the Black Lives Matter movement going.  Insta ohsooolisa patsyaysha blaxkcurrent_podcast

It’s okay, bad days happen. How do you find the peace in that day though? We chat through our ways. Tip. Speak to friends. Reflect and write it out.

Ep35. Let’s be honest, we put the blame on other people and not ourselves, when we haven’t been the best friend to them. We’re trying to hold ourselves accountable and see how we can be better friends.

social media is basically running our lives! or is it ruining our lives?? Twitter v Instagram which is better? Is there too many voices and we don't know what to believe anymore? Emily Woodworth joins in the discussion. 

*I am doing too much* I need a break.  Anyone else feel they are only working and not enjoying life? Whatever happened to work-rest-play? Why can't I work from home? Will Coronavirus change the way we work?

#BlackLivesMatter isn't a trend. We continue the conversation on colourism, tribalism and racism. 

Let's be real. Planet Earth has been hit again, and again, and again this year with a lotta sh*t and we're only half way through.  Does that mean we should can the year? Hell no.  We need to learn, motivate and keep killin' the game in our own ways, collectively. The gang catch up  Episode 31

In case you are wondering, the word isn't "no". Nigerian, English and Ugandan, we talk cultural differences on the word. N*****

It could quite possibly be the worse week of Victor's, Larry's and Patsy's lives. If not distressed, then emotional, if not upsetting, then triggered, if not speaking to white friends about race, then awkwardly speaking to white friends about race. It's been a really hard time us and our black and brown friends. The blaxkcurrent gang talk about how we have been feelings and the suppression that has risen alongside the killing of George Floyd.  Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a movement ostensibly seeking to reform police conduct especially as it involves use of force against African-American suspects and civilians.

If you could tell your younger self what you’re going to go through in life what would you say? The truth or fluff?

Jordan came to us with “covid19 is a scam”. We explore clapping for the NHS, is it beneficial? Should Boris have told everyone he had Corona, did it make people scared? Are celebrities getting paid for saying they have it?

RECAP time. BLAXKCURRENT is 1 Year's old, baby! It's a time to celebrate how far we have come as a unit but also as a community. We started this podcast because we wanted to expand our own knowledge. We believe communication is key, but with conversing comes hard conversations, awkward reflections and beautiful growths. Love is stronger than hate. We hope to to spread kindness and wisdom. Thank you for all the support and continuing to grow alongside us with our discussions and debates. Together #WeAreBlaxkcurrent

Have you ever thought “is this person a friend or foe”. Blaxkcurrent chat about the importance of friendship but how we dish out the word friend to everyone and it’s not healthy. TAKE BACK THE WORD & put boundaries in place...

Remember Prom? Vic & Patsy reminise about the awkward first dance they were meant to have at 16, but in this case it went terribly wrong. We talk about the impacts of the Talking stage and the Dating stage. How it's so easy to stay in the talking stage and never get the title of boy/girl friend.

In light of recent news... ADELE (the singer) lost some..... wait for it.... weight, and the internet went wild. We talk how the affect someone commenting on our appearance feels. What is Bodyshaming? We find out and educate ourselves.  Remember hurt people, hurt people.  Insta: @blaxkcurrent_podcast Twitter: @blaxkcurrent_

Talking V Dating: What Does That Even Mean?

This is a snippet of what's to come on the episode "Body shaming & Me". On this bonus ep, we discuss is there is such a thing as body shaming and do Fat and Skinny shaming get different scales of abuse?? Fat & Skinny Shaming: Is one more acceptable than the other?

We ask the question... "Does excessive self-confidence exist?" Is it a positive thing to believe in yourself? Arrogance v Confidence Loud v Insecure Quiet v Content Thank you to our guest Sharon!
