Lala speaks to Africa Brooke the globally recognised consultant, mentor and speaker and who has a new book out 'The Third Persepctive'.  She went viral for her letter 'While I'm Leaving The Cult of Wokeness' where she rebuked the notion that because she is a black woman she is opressed. She encourages Lala to challenge some of her own beliefs and thoughts and feels without Africa's input on important topics such as trolling and cancel culture it would be a space less understood and debated. Their views might not always align, such as on feminism, but being able to have these types of conversations and to listen to each others experiences only makes our understanding richer and more dimensional.  If you'd like to ask Lala a question get in touch @asklalalaletmeexplain on Instagram and let's navigate this romantic landscape together!  A Sony Music Entertainment production  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts and follow us at @sonypodcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  And if you would like to read more from Lala follow the link for her weekly OK Mag column https://www.ok.co.uk/authors/Lalalaletmeexplain/  Learn more about your ad choices.
