Prince Harry's 40th birthday, Kate Middleton back at work, and ANOTHER dramatisation of that Prince Andrew interview. Headlines about the Royals are frequent front pages - but is this actually news? The monarchy is given a fairly easy ride in the media - rarely questioned, often praised, history erased. But why don't editorial guidelines about ‘due impartiality' apply to the royal family, when 40% of Brits disagree with its existence? This week, storyteller Kelechi Okafor and author Dr Laura Clancy (who wrote Running the Family Firm: how the monarchy manages its image and our money) join us to talk about monarchy in the media. How much money does the taxpayer spend on the monarchy? What is the actual job of a royal correspondent - and why are they all called Ms England, or Mr Dymond, or Ms Bond? And what actually happened during Elizabeth II's Empire? Plus, your weekly media storms. How the Trump campaign is playing the papers; how British tabloids got a pro-Palestine pregnant mother arrested for calling Sunak and Braverman ‘coconuts'; and what the Jewish Chronicle scandal reveals about our wider media's mistakes.

Hey all, hope you're well! This episode was inspired by a tweet from the amazing baby girl that is Kelechi Okafor (@kelechnekoff) speaking about the fact that as creators, we have to expend so much energy chasing late payments that we end up drained as a result. As a result of the disrespect and disregard that some companies & organisations show us by not paying us on time (and not making the effort to) Let's get into it.

A black square on Instagram doesn't make you an anti-racist, but there is a path to follow. Welcome to From Woke to Work, the Anti-Racist Journey, a podcast created and hosted by Kamala Avila-Salmon, with the mission to make an impactful dent in people's understand of how to actually combat racism. Whether you're an ally ready to take action or a black person with a bunch of ally-related questions, this podcast will draw a clear path for you to follow towards true anti-racism. This is the penultimate step of our anti-racist journey, and in this episode, Kamala will tackle everything around allyship and why it just isn't enough. When it comes to being an ally, white people look at it as if it was some sort of badge of honor, that they can even grant to themselves just by “not lynching” black people, basically. But the truth is, effective allyship comes with great discomfort, a lot of work, and big sacrifices. Being an ally means being of service, it means teaming up and proactively conspiring to dismantle the racist nature of our families, education and our overall system. Today, Kamala is joined by Black-British actress and director, public speaker, fierce dancer and athlete, and the Say Your Mind podcast host, Kelechi Okafor, to have a rich and unapologetic discussion around allyship, its limits and what it takes for non-black people to make changes in favor of a more diverse and inclusive society.  Jump straight into: (00:46) - On the cynical racism of Hollywood and the clear limits of useful allyship - “Feels limited because the ‘ally' will always retain their privilege.” (07:45) - The ridiculous hypocrisy of self-proclaimed allies and the nonsensical attempts to censor black people's voices - “It's no longer about feeling great. And if it is about feeling great, why must the greatness that you feel be at the expense of other people who are usually darker than you?”   (17:51) - Why allyship should never feel too comfortable - “It's full of clowns, as far as I'm concerned, because if we're talking about true allyship, you cannot do that without the willingness to lose something.” (21:54) - The role of diverse, deep relationship in the anti-racist journey, and why cis white males will difficultly become allies - “These things that I consider from good natured white men who try to help, they lack really an understanding of the complexities and the nuance around just how violent whiteness can be as a construct.” (30:35) - The huge difference between interrupting versus dismantling racism - “The system is easy because you can remove your emotions from it, go to the place that hurts, your household, because when you can do that, you're indestructible, and then we can take on this whole system together.” (38:12) - From being performative to becoming a better ally and how to effectively diversify the workplace - “If you're really wanting to go the distance, then this is how you do it, get your energy levels up, because it's not an easy walk.” Resources Follow Kelechi on https://www.instagram.com/kelechnekoff/ (Instagram) and https://twitter.com/kelechnekoff (Twitter)  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/say-your-mind/id1324118843 (Say Your Mind) https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIp7IyUpI8V/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading (Kelechi's take) on the Tiffany Haddish Grammy scandal Thanks for tuning in!
