gal-dem is a UK publication that is actively addressing the way people of colour are portrayed in the media. Founded by Liv Little in 2015, gal-dem’s mission statement is clear: To empower and support young women and non-binary people of colour, to disrupt racist stereotypes, and shine a light on stories and experiences that matter. Two women playing a vital role in doing that are gal-dem journalists Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff and Leah Cowan. In this episode of History Becomes Her, Cowan and Brinkhurst-Cuff discuss their book "I Will Not be Erased": Our Stories about Growing Up as People of Colour and their personal experiences of erasure. They pay tribute to the women they find most inspiring: American political activist Angela Davis and Myrna Simpson, mother of Joy Gardner who died in a botched deportation in 1993. Cowan and Brinkhurst-Cuff explore the forgotten women of the Windrush generation and women's role in Britain's Black Power movement.Please subscribe, rate, and review.

In April 2018 the Home Secretary Amber Rudd resigned and delivered an unprecedented apology for the “appalling” actions of her own department towards Windrush-era citizens. It came 5 months after an investigation by a Guardian journalist into what has become known as the Windrush scandal. The scandal affected an unknown number of people who arrived in the UK as children from the Caribbean but were never formally naturalised or hadn’t applied for a British passport. We speak to Amelia Gentleman, the investigative journalist who broke the story and whose book The Windrush Betrayal: Exposing the Hostile Environment has just come out. We also hear from Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, author of Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children, about what Windrush means now. Presenter: Tina Daheley Producers: Jaja Muhammad and Philly Beaumont Mixed by Nicolas Raufast Editor: John Shields
This week, gal-dem's Head of Editorial Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff talks about the publication's evolution into a fully-fledged and funded publishing business, why they decided to have a print magazine alongside the digital site, and the lessons she will and won't be applying from her time working with other publishers. She also explains why it's so important to have a truly supportive internship scheme, and how publishers need to prepare themselves to properly support diversity in the workplace before bringing people in. In the news round-up, Peter and Esther are joined by International Magazine Centre founder Nikki Simpson. The team discuss Vox Media's acquisition of New York Magazine, how the BBC has found itself in the middle of a racism row with Naga Munchetty, and the launch of Platinum magazine from DC Thomson.
This episode is on how the so-called Windrush scandal affected both those who initially came to the UK and the next generation. The scandal erupted in 2018 with residents who had lived in this country for years having their rights threatened or removed by the Home Office in the UK. Some were deported, while others lost their jobs, homes, benefits and access to care on the NHS. Violet Nights heard some shocking stories and theories on how the injustices of the ‘hostile environment policy’ can be counteracted. Chairing the debate is Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, Deputy Editor at gal-dem magazine and author of the book Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children. Joining her on stage is Grime pioneer and MC Marci Phonix, who went viral for criticising MP Kwasi Kwarteng live on Channel 4 News and artist Rachelle Romeo, whose father was severely affected by the scandal. Running monthly for the past few years at Southbank Centre in London, Violet Nights is a real-life forum for online conversations with music, performance and discussion in front of a live audience. We want to hear your views on this as well; get involved using #violetnights or @southbankcentre on social media. And don’t forget to follow us or write a review - we’d love to hear from you.

"We have money all of a sudden!" Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff is the editor of gal-dem, the magazine made by women of colour and non-binary people of colour, which made an immediate impact when its first print issue launched in 2016. They've been working hard since then to increase their reach, for example with their takeover of The Guardian's Weekend magazine last year, and this week saw the release of their first book, I Will Not be Erased. I caught up with Charlie to speak about the rapid growth of gal-dem, including the funding they received earlier this year, which is allowing them to embark upon "gal-dem 2.0" – the ambitious next stage of their development.

The bestselling author of The Hate U Give presented an homage to hip-hop and the power of storytelling in a discussion of her second novel, with Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff. She talked about On the Come Up, the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities faced by poor and working-class black families. "It took me a couple years to decide to write that story but it came from a place of anger, hurt and frustration but also from a place of hope and hopefully a way to celebrate when the world doesn't do it for us."

Britain was known as the Mother Country: a home away from home; a place that you would be welcomed with open arms; a land where you were free to build a new life.... Seventy years on, this remarkable audiobook explores the reality of the Windrush experience. Mother Country is an honest, eye-opening, funny, moving and ultimately inspiring celebration of the lives of both ordinary and extraordinary people.
This week, Ebuni and Kay relax and mostly avoid the week’s clickbait to talk about life in general. We talk about Shonda leading us astray and why Viola must be protected; dreams that don’t make any sense, the Spice Girls tour and whether we managed to get tickets, more TV talk and Rihanna “possibly” having new music. Ebuni took a 24 hour dive into dating apps and met her very own #fraudbae and a possible #whitebae in person, whilst Kay is putting and strictly enforcing her boundaries.

What can hidden histories teach us about multiracial society in Britain today? With author Emma Dabiri, footballer Eartha Pond and gal-dem deputy editor Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff. Emma’s status as a professional footballer, in one of Britain’s earliest women’s football matches in 1895 attended by thousands of paying spectators, is hugely significant. That she travelled the country, accompanied by widespread media coverage, demonstrates the profile she would have enjoyed in the 1890s. But while her male contemporaries are championed as global icons with statues, TV dramas and fame, Emma’s life slipped into obscurity. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 31st October 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/10/celebrating-emma-clarke-black-female-football-pioneer
It's a week of controversy: Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who says she's black, is back in the public eye thanks to a Netflix documentary, The Rachel Divide. What trauma led to her fraudulent ‘transracial' identity? And why does Rachel refuse to back down? We called up gal-dem deputy editor and Guardian writer Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff to discuss the documentary - and whether or not Netflix were right to air it. Also on today's agenda: the glitzy annual Met Gala and it's ‘Catholic' theme, courtesy of Andrew Bolton's ‘Heavenly Bodies' exhibition. From Rihanna's papal mitre to Lena Waithe's politically charged rainbow cape, via Jared Leto dressed as Jesus (God complex, much?) the dress code might have been crassly interpreted and as camp as Christmas, but does that make it offensive? We run the full gamut of opinions.Last thing - the Chuckle Brothers have not fallen out.

This is a new musical with songs and a score by Joe Stilgoe (yes, son of...), which looks beyond Walt Disney to Rudyard Kipling and his stories about Mowgli, the boy brought up by wolves, and finds in them themes for our times: the complexities of cultural identity in a diverse world, what the Law of the Jungle means and where the Jungle might be. And Joe performs the song he has written for Baloo the Bear, live in the Front Row studio.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May.
The High Low is BACK after a week's hiatus in which Dolly went to Majorca, boggled at its lack of scene and read a bunch of books. Meanwhile Pandora's got summer flu and wants Dolly to update the Good Reads profile. There's Bond, vegan feminist cafes and Taylor Swift in The Top Line. And we look at the surprise shouty renaissance of Trinny and "put a waist belt on it" Susannah's Trinny Woodall. In the wake of the horrifying white supremacist rally in Charlottesville and murder of an innocent young woman, we discuss what the various public reactions say about white privilege; particularly one divisive tweet from Lorde. We also discuss the presence of rape culture in the reporting and reaction to model Chloe Ayling's account of her kidnap and imprisonment. Plus, we answer a reader question on toxic friendships in the workplace. COME TO OUR EVENT NEXT WEEK We'll be having a live 'in conversation' at the NARS store in Covent Garden next Wednesday 23rd August. You can book your ticket (£30 and redeemable against purchase) by calling 0207 836 6366 or emailing coventgarden@narscosmetics.eu and you get a goody bag too. We'll see you at the bar!
