It's all about brotherly love as the ladies are joined by Moni's lil brother, Ro (aka Big Homie from the Geech). Since Ro was visiting from Japan, they could not pass up a chance to have him on the show! They allowed him to select this episode's topic; this week the gang explores the book, “Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire” By Akala. Natives is both “a memoir and a detailed sociological investigation of racism.” In true fashion, Moni and Kat manage to squeeze in some laughs and shenanigans with their guest, unpack the complex interplay between race and class, and acknowledge the tragedy and thirstiness of one of Kat's former weaves!! You don't want to miss this fun and thoughtful episode!!! Cheers to the F.A.B. Podcast!! “We are conquered people living in the conqueror's land and as such we are ppl without honor” AKALA *Trigger: Language, Racism, racial slurs, Political commentary * Ro IG- @Apolllyonyx thefabpodcast@gmail.com

Today, on the Art Seeker Stories Podcast 10th Episode I chat to Scottish artist Cat Coulter, who divides her time between Cellardyke, a fishing village on the Fife coast and north London. Here on her artist residency on Art Seeker Island, she describes her imaginary island, as she creates her own vision of ‘Hope'.  Cat's work is a load of old rubbish. Her art practice starts with beach combing. She collects and re-presents found objects, to highlight the impact of our throwaway society on the natural environment.The materials she uses are dictated by whatever the tide brings. Some are natural objects, but most are synthetic items either deliberately discarded or accidentally abandoned on the shore or at sea. Cat uses some of these ugly waste plastics to make cyanotype photograms, making deceptively beautiful but dystopian blue-and-white images, where trash imitates nature.  The viewer may not immediately notice that what they are looking at is actually rubbish. Cat invites the viewer to look again, more closely, and reflect on what they see. Cat aims to raise consciousness and awareness of the increase in plastic pollution, particularly since the pandemic and the proliferation of discarded PPE.Each work aims to create, quite literally, a blueprint for change.We take an incredible journey into a hopeful planet where rubbish is but a thought and a memory of what was, encased in a cabinet, frozen in time and history. The 3 artist  artworks Cat takes with her for company on Art seeker Island are;1. By a woman: Untitled by Dora Maar (the hand emerging from the seashell)2. Of cultural significance: Zellij tiled mosaics (Elaborate geometric mosaics made in Morocco.3. Free choice: Rembrandt's self-portrait, with two circles.Lufi's Library Book Swap: Borrowing:  Natives: Race and Class on the Ruins of Empire by Akala @akalamusic Swapping: Robot & Boo The Beach Cleaning Crew by Leeanne Splatt @castawaycolorYou can find more about Cat and her work here: Website: www.catcoulterartist.com Instagram: @catcoulterartist  

 Today, on the Art Seeker Stories podcast 6th Episode  I'm delighted to chat with artist Lucy Chapman, a London based artist whose primarily a print maker exploring themes within photography and recreated objects. Lucy is a teacher specialising in Inclusion and has recently founded  the Unity Art Project, raising money for the Trussel Trust. Lucy is such a great kind soul, I first met Lucy online when she asked me for an artist interview as I was one of the artists who were adding their own work on top of her print ‘Peace Unity Love and Having Fun' for the Unity Art Project.  We connected so well that I ended up with almost 3 hours of recording. I have taken the liberty then, of cutting the episode in half as I felt everything she shares is so deep and meaningful, it wouldn't be fair to select and cut bits out, where would I start? In this 6th episode, part 2,  on Lucy's Art Seeker Island art residency  we go straight into Lufi's questions. Lucy talks about illness, a near death experience and the fragility of life and death. She shares with us her artwork that documents  and explores these themes. Books swapped in Lufi's book club are  "Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire" by Akala and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. We also talk dyslexia.If you missed it do check out  the Art Seeker Stories 5th Episode in part 1 of our chat, where we talk  about her Art Seeker Island, a blend of London and Wales, and her chosen artist artworks for company:  Rachel Whiteread's House in London and Holocaust memorial, in Vienna. Mark Bradford' 150 portrait tone and Wild Wild West : A Beautiful Rant  & Julie Cockburn's Nirvana 1, featured in her book Sticky Beak. We also talk about dyslexia, Lucy's  discussions with her dad are featured in the Listening Project for Chanel 4.  The Unity Art Project Lucy founded raised over £3,000 for The Trussell Trust @trusseltrust  | www.trusseltrust.orgWorking to stop UK hunger and poverty. Auction and an online exhibition, with @gowithyomo You can find more on Lucy:Website:   www.lucychapman.org  www.unityartproject.comInstagram: @luceprints @unityartproject

Davina qualified as a music therapist from Anglia Ruskin University in 2006 and has been working in wide variety of settings ever since.  She specialised in a brief therapy model, writing her masters these in this field.  She has continued to explore this model in special educational needs settings with children and adults in schools and residential settings.  She has worked in acute and long term mental health in the NHS and continues to explore different and innovative ways of working.  She is currently one of 5 directors at Drum and Brass, a grassroots arts organisation making headway in effecting positive change in diversity and safeguarding in Leicester with dreams of changing the discourse and filling the gaps on a national landscape.  She is a registered supervisor and works closely with BAMT as their area group coordinator and CPD officer.

They discuss the BAMT EDI Report, as well as Davina's personal experiences of growing up in the UK and training as a music therapist, including her experiences of racism. They consider where we go from here in relation to Black Lives Matter, and the current lack of racial diversity and representation in the UK music therapy profession.

Annie Mbako @nieniedo, is back for Part 2 of our discussion called Brit(ish) Africans; Newcomers to the Game. Quick recap of what we covered; What the attraction is to moving to the British isles. What Africans experience in relation to Afro Caribbeans and White people. How Africans deal with racism. Whether Africans are thriving in the UK. Money habits as Africans. Black Tax. Building generational wealth .... oh my days guys we talked about so much, you have to check it out. As we know Africa is not one country but a continent of 50+ countries. Which in itself can be isolating when immigrating to another country. The natives see us as one entity, yet Africans do not behave that way. Certainly there is power in numbers and we should explore how to see past boundaries and raise each other up. People on and off the continent should really shift to having long sighted plans, strategies and goals. Secondly, the relatives and friends of people that have immigrated to the British Isles should have realistic expectations. For someone to be well established it takes a while. Instead what happens is that the person in Britain ends up either living in poorly conditions or they are not able to build proper generational wealth because they are obligated to frequently send money to their countries of origin. It is not sustainable.   "Black Tax is a tax on your health" "There is zero excuse for having no insurance when living in western societies" "Does every single thing in what I do have to be bougie? The answer is No." "(Africans) we need to move as one" "Stop comparing yourself with families that have real wealth. We are starting on a back foot. Spend your money wisely" "A good generational wealth building habits is investing. Do not just save."   Annie's book recommendations: Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging, Afua Hirsch Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, Akala   KNOW your Roots, Grow your Purpose   LINKS: Find me on social media www.instagram.com/chulu_bydesign www.facebook.com/chulubydesign  Join the Africana Woman tribe: https://www.facebook.com/groups/290100402115926/ Africana Woman Blog: https://www.africanawoman.com KNOW your Purpose: http://bit.do/KNOWyourPurpose  

The Africana Woman spotlight this week is on Annie Mbako @nieniedo, ooooo this chat became so juicy. I always like to make sure the topic is exhausted, and there was so much information she was giving. Or maybe I'm just nosey lol. All the same, this topic will be in two parts. Annie is Cameroon born and a British national. We covered everything from how Africans end up in the British Isles. What the attraction is. What Africans experience in relation to Afro Caribbeans and White people. How Africans deal with racism. Whether Africans are thriving in the UK. Money habits as Africans. Black Tax. Building generational wealth .... oh my days guys we talked about so much, you have to check it out. This conversation is two fold: A} The experiences of immigrants to Britain B) The expectations of immigrants to Britain from their families and friends back in their country of origin c) The reality vs expectations of people seeking to immigrate to Britain "Caribbeans paved the way for black people in the UK. It was a massive sacrifice." "It was Wales when we left the house, but Cameroon inside the house" "There is a lot more open racism in England than Wales" "My parents tried to protect me from racism and micro aggressions. I thought they were trying to restrict me" "As a minority group it is important to maintain connections" "We are guests to the table" "If you are black fact is you will continue to experience racism for the rest of your life" "The next generation down have looser connections with their countries of origin, no matter what you do" Annie's book recommendations: Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging, by Afua Hirsch Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, by Akala Make sure you come back next week for Part 2.

Host: Diane Gil Co-Host: Antonio Moore Guest: Hermen Wegayehu Listen to other episodes: https:// podcasts.apple.com/ us/podcast/now-what/ id1439125172  Episode Introduction: In today’s episode of the Now What podcast, Diane and her co host KeKey Huessein are accompanied by Hermen Wegayehu who talks about her homeland and the Ethiopian culture. Hermen shares the struggles of her people, and provide inspiration to Be Black and Be Proud #BLM Episode Summary: Hermen talks about her experience as a child who moved from her home in Ethiopia to America. She shares her experience where she felt like an outsider and was often judged on basis of the colour of her skin and her accent. She also talks about her current life as a corporate leader and how she’s trying to teach the Ethiopian values and culture to her children. The episode talks about everything from the unique Ethiopian culture to great movements in the history of black people and how they’re still facing the same problems as people of color. Call to Action As a nation confront the division and supremacy to bring healing and unity.   We should all challenge our biases on the issues we are facing Notable Facts & Statistics: Ethiopia’s Flag served as a symbol of African independence and is a source of great pride. In 1935, Ethiopian flag evoked sentiments of the black community in America. Ethiopia is one of the oldest nations in the world. ~600,000 undocumented black immigrants live in the US. One out of every ten blacks in America are immigrants. Most African countries gained their political independence in the 1960s.

Award-winning hip-hop artist and writer Akala joins Michael Mohammed Ahmad in conversation about his bestselling debut, Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, a searing, modern polemic on race and class in the British Empire. He reflects on growing up poor, mixed-race and politicised in Britain during the 1980s and 90s, widening his experiences into a nuanced historical treatise that demonstrates why The Guardian has lauded his as “the kind of disruptive, aggressive intellect that a new generation is closely watching”.
