Podcasts about Okenyo

Zindzi Okenyo has a lot on her plate. The actor, musician and Play School host is now a theatre director. Her first plays, Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner and Orange Thrower, are bitingly honest portrayals of growing up black in predominantly white communities. Also, when Kim Crotty couldn't be with his sons, he wrote them stories instead — 47 of them. These stories are shared in a new play at this year's Perth Festival called The Smallest Stage — a play that also reveals the reason for their separation: Kim was in prison.

Back in 2018 when Race Matters was but a twinkle in our collective eye, we had big dreams of having musician, actor and Play School presenter Zindzi Okenyo join us on the show. That chat is finally here! And it's well worth the wait – spanning the power of children's TV, the whiteness of theatre in this country, the reception to her track 'Anthropology' and honestly, everything in between.  Plus, we discuss the news that no criminal charges will be laid against the police officers involved in the case of Yorta Yorta woman Aunty Tanya Day's death in custody, and how important it is that these ongoing injustices are consistently brought to light. The podcast we chat about towards the end of the show is called MOONFACE. You can listen to it here, or on your podcast platform of choice. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I took a lot from this. Actor, songwriter and Play School host... Zindzi has the perfect skill set for delving in to a childlike mind-frame and talking joy, creativity and happiness! We hear insights in to the creation of Play School and also the spin off Art Time. "Those kids were not thinking at all. Their imaginations literally had no bounds. It was the best reminder ever, because they came up with the most amazing things..."The art of being in the moment. Taking time to find that. I need to work on clearing my mind and finding presence. Thank you so much Zindzi for sharing so much of your wisdom and experience. "Music is still a space where... I find myself getting more and more free; but I'm not fully free, yet." The song choices are top shelf. I give a chef's kiss which I trust you can visualize. If you smile, learn or discover anything from listening to this, please let me know. Have a great one.

This week we were joined by Sydney musician OKENYO, who spoke to us about her new single Woman's World. She spoke about equality in the corporate world, making political statements through art. We spoke about the toxic culture of sexual violence in the music industry, from Rick Ross recently stating that he wouldn’t sign a lady to Maybach Music because he wouldnt be able to not have sex with them, to R Kelly and Dr Luke. To counter that we wanted to share NPR's list of the 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women.  In current politics, Trump has announced on Twitter that transgender people will be banned from serving in the US millitary, despite the military spending five times as much on Viagra as it would on transgender troops' medical care. We rounded off the show with the new Charli XCX track Boys. The self-directed, boy-packed video, which turns the tables on gender roles and the male gaze in pop videos, has Diplo and Khalid cuddling with puppies, Joe Jonas tucking into a tall stack, Riz Ahmed getting cozy with a teddy bear, Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie in a pile of rose petals, and so on.
