Build your reputation, they said. Complete voyages, defeat foes and gather treasures, they said. Visit the outpost to sell cargo and make repairs, they said. Having two sloops under my command was supposed to make this easy, but the truth was far from it. A pirate's life for me, my barnacle. It was a huge challenge from the start. It was almost impossible to safely navigate this Sea of Thieves: Voyage of Legends by Mat Hart, James M. Hewitt, Steve Margetson, Sherwin Matthews and Sophie Williams from Steamforged Games.

Sophie Williams, former global leader at Netflix, anti-racism activist, TED speaker, and the author of Millennial Black, Anti-Racist Ally, and The Glass Cliff on the opportunities offered by a more diverse workplace. Her passionate advocacy for more women and Black and global majority people in the industry focuses on growing existing talent and creating a workplace designed to improve the return on its workers' investment. As the Glass Cliff phenomenon identified 20 years ago and replicated in research around the world shows, women are finding themselves being brought in to lead in businesses undergoing a crisis, when their chances of success are limited from the start. Sophie argues that the companies that set out to grow people from all backgrounds are likely to be the winners in the future. Further reading links: The Glass Cliff TED talk UN transcript

We've all heard of the glass ceiling, right? But what about the phenomenon befalling the high-flying women who have dared to smash through it? It's known as the glass cliff, and Sophie Williams has written a book about it. Sophie joins Mick this week, to talk about how and why it happens – and why the issue matters to all women. Meanwhile, Jen is on the Zoom with theatre company Dirty Hare, to talk witches, history and their play Gunter, which is showing at The Royal Court Theatre until April 25.   In Jenny Off The Blocks, there's rugby, cricket and more. And in Rated or Dated, there's more witchcraft afoot, but will 1989 “cult classic” Teen Witch be cinematic magic or a curse on the eyes, ears and emotions?   Meanwhile, in unrelated news *cough*, Hannah's wading through a river of jobbies in the Bush Telegraph.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Beyoncé has released her highly anticipated new album, Cowboy Carter. It's a deep dive into the country-western genre. Some critics have questioned why one of the biggest RnB vocalists in the world would experiment with country. But others say it's her right as a Texas-born singer. Regardless, there's a strong sense that she is helping black artists take up more space in a genre long associated with white Americans. Sophie Williams, a BBC reporter, explains how black artists have often felt excluded from the country music industry. We also hear the from two black women working in country music: Holly G, the founder of Black Opry, an organisation that connects black artists in the country and Americana genres, and Tiera Kennedy, a singer-songwriter from Alabama who appears on Beyoncé's tracks 'Blackbird,' which is a cover of The Beatles' original song, and 'Tyrant'.We also hear from Dr. Emmett G Price III, dean of Africana Studies at Berklee College of Music & Boston Conservatory. He explains how African-American history influenced the development of country music.

Bobby is joined by Sophie Williams, author of ‘The Glass Cliff' to discuss the phenomenon and the leadership roles women have in business.

Nigeria has been wrangling with the crypto-exchange Binance and recently stopped all transactions using local currency. The move comes after a tumultuous two weeks for the exchange in Nigeria where government officials blamed Binance for facilitating currency speculation and foreign exchange manipulation. The soaring exchange rates have worsened the cost of living for Nigerians. Also, in the programme, the presenter Will Bain finds out what the spike in violence might mean for foreign investment in Haiti and he hears from Sophie Williams, the author of a new book called The Glass Cliff.

You've heard of the glass ceiling, of course. You may have bumped your head on it - or even smashed through it. But have you heard of the glass cliff? This is the phenomenon where female leaders are much more likely to be given the opportunity to step into leadership roles within businesses that are already in a prolonged period of poor performance. And therefore, set up for organisational failure. Well, the wondrous Sophie Williams (author of Anti-Racist Ally and Millennial Black) is the global expert on this phenomenon and it's what her latest book - The Glass Cliff: Why Women in Power are Undermined and How To Fight Back - is all about. She's on the podcast this week being magnificent; making us a little angry and lot more informed. Brace yourselves and have a listen...   The Glass Cliff: Why Women in Power are Undermined and How To Fight Back out on March 7 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kate Adie presents stories from the US-Mexico border, Chile, Spain, the US and India. The synthetic opioid Fentanyl is fifty times stronger than heroin, and was responsible for tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the US last year. Relatively easy to produce, it is smuggled in large quantities across the Mexico-US border. Will Grant reports from El Paso in Texas, and hears how it is poisoning young lives. Chile held two days of national mourning this week after wildfires wreaked a path of destruction through the central coastal region of Valparaiso. More than 120 people were killed with many more are missing. Jane Chambers has spoken to those directly affected.Spain has one of the most powerful feminist movements in Europe and the country recently passed new laws to protect women against violence – but only women. Now, some Spaniards are asking, has feminism gone too far? Ellie House reports from Madrid.Over the past 20 years, a charity has flown hundreds of thousands of military veterans to Washington DC to visit the war memorials built in honour of their service and sacrifice. Sophie Williams went to meet veterans from WW2, and the Korean and Vietnam wars who'd taken these 'honor flights'.India's economic boom has created some 169 billionaires. Many of India's super-rich choose Mumbai as their home yet alongside this great wealth is enormous poverty. Half of Mumbai's population live in slums – some just a stone's throw from the millionaire mansions. For some, this can be the inspiration they need – after all, Mumbai is known as the city of dreams. Philip McCreery met one teenager who's close to seeing hers come true.Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Sally Abrahams Production Co-ordinator: Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Malawi, Switzerland and Germany. Bakhmut has long been a prize for Russian forces since it invaded Ukraine a year ago. Tens of thousands of troops have died in a protracted fight for the city, in what is the longest battle of the war so far. Quentin Sommerville has been travelling through the front line, and reveals the changing nature of the war. A 14-day period of national mourning is underway in Malawi, after more than 200 people died when the country was hit by Cyclone Freddy. More than 200,000 people have been displaced. Rhoda Odhiambo visited Malawi's commercial capital, Blantyre, which is among the worst-affected areas. South Korean pop culture has taken the world by storm in recent years, with K-Pop superstars like BTS and BlackPink scoring number one hits around the world. Korean TV dramas have also been a huge hit - and Sophie Williams says one show in particular has put a small village in Switzerland on the map. In Germany public nudity has a long tradition, but the question of whether the freedom to go naked in public was a legal right was unclear until two women challenged orders asking them to cover up in a public swimming pool. Jenny Hill reports from Berlin. Series Producer: Serena Tarling Researcher: Beth Ashmead Production coordinator: Helena Warwick-Cross Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

In his weekly letter to the nation on Monday, President Cyril Ramaphosa pointed out that the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) remained one of the country's biggest obstacles in achieving full and meaningful gender equality. He said as South Africans worked together to tackle GBV, progress made by the country in building a non-sexist society must not be diminished. On Tuesday South Africa will celebrate Women's Day, which commemorates the day in 1956 when thousands of women marched on the Union Buildings to protest against apartheid pass laws. Activists such as Rahima Moosa, Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph and Sophie Williams de Bruyn marched up the steps of the Union Building amphitheatre on that historic day. “We must celebrate the many achievements of women in our country and pay tribute to those who continue to lead the way. As we work to achieve gender equality in all areas of life, we must acknowledge that we have come a long way. And that we still have much further to go,” Ramaphosa said. He compared the 1956 Women's March to today's efforts to end violence against women and children. He said equal rights for women was an important goal of national liberation and added that ending violence against women and children was vital to the country's national progress. “This is not a problem of women, but a problem of men. And it is men who are being called upon to be part of the solution, starting with their own attitudes and conduct,” Ramaphosa added. ACHIEVEMENT OF GENDER EQUALITY According to South Africa's progress towards the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, the country is on an upward trend towards the achievement of gender equality, Ramaphosa said. He stressed the importance of representation of women. “Today, women can advance in any occupation, study in a place and field of their choice and own businesses. Thanks to employment equity legislation and other policies of the democratic government, women's representation in the workplace, in government and all of society continues to grow,” he noted. Specifically, he pointed to a growing number of women in Parliament, with 46% of National Assembly members being women. He stated that 62% of the entire public service was female and 44% of senior management posts were filled by women. He further pointed out government's accelerated agenda for advancing women's representation by appointing the first woman to head the National Prosecuting Authority and the first female Directors-General in the State Security Agency and the Presidency. Last week the first female Deputy National Commissioner of the South African Police Service was appointed and last month Justice Mandisa Maya was appointed as South Africa's first female Deputy Chief Justice. Out of 256 judges on the Bench, 114 were female and nearly half of all magistrates were female. Ramaphosa noted that South Africa came from a painful past where young black women and girls had limited prospects. He said it was an inspiration to see black women occupy posts as ministers, judges, business leaders, engineers and fighter pilots. As women in the US fight for their rights to contraception and safe abortions, Ramaphosa pointed out that South African women have access to contraception and safe termination of pregnancy in the public health system. He added that the democratic State had worked to repeal all laws that discriminate against women, and over the years the courts had ruled against policies and practices that unfairly discriminated against women on the grounds of motherhood or sexual orientation. “We have laws that protect women against harassment in the workplace and that address modern forms of victimisation of women. Women in traditional communities have rights to own land, to enter into contracts and to inherit,” Ramaphosa said.

Evidence suggests that war crimes have been committed in the Ukrainian towns and cities which fell under Russian occupation. Bodies of civilians have been left behind where Russian troops withdrew, and those Ukrainians who remained in their homes throughout have spoken of imprisonment, torture and murder. Sophie Williams spoke to a woman who managed to escape from Izyum, a city that Russian forces took over back in April, and she revealed what life was like there. Ukraine is effectively fighting a war on two fronts: there is the battle on the ground, but also the battle for public opinion, fought on the world stage. If Ukraine is to continue receiving arms from countries abroad, it must make sure it has those countries' support. That is particularly crucial when it comes to the US, which is supplying more assistance than any other. Tara McKelvey was watching as President Joe Biden tried to persuade people in the rural Midwest that such support is necessary. It is forty years since Argentinian troops invaded the Falkland Islands, and Britain sent a task force to drive them out. Tributes have been paid to the hundreds of servicemen who were killed or injured, but what is sometimes overlooked is the role played by the Islanders themselves. Beth Timmins has been hearing how civilians there used a secret system of radio communication, to help those who had come to liberate them Paddy O'Connell has been a regular visitor to the beaches of Normandy, where his father fought in the allied landings of 1944. On his latest visit, he met the French son of a British soldier, trying to find out what had happened to his own father. Stephen Moss is a glote-trotting birdwatcher, whose hobby has taken him as far as Costa Rica. On a recent visit, he found that ornithology enthusiasts have been kept away by the Covid pandemic, meaning that local nature sanctuaries could close down.

Today's guest is an Author, Ted Speaker, Diversity and Inclusion Consultant, Contributing Writer for several magazines and of course the brains behind the HUGE instagram account @OfficialMillennialBlack. When Sophie began her career she immediately recognised it to be a predominantly white male space. It was clear that in her professional life it was going to be harder navigating such a space as a black woman which is why she created - The Official Millennial Black. After the devastating and violent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in the US last year, her posts about anti-racist work got over ¼ million likes, garnering attention from around the world - including pop sensation Justin Bieber! Her book “How to become an Anti-Racist Ally” which she wrote in only 8 days, has sold copies internationally making it onto almost every ‘introduction to activism' list there is. It's inspired many, including myself, to look at their actions and how they can create change in their own life/workplace. Her new book “Millennial Black: The Ultimate Guide for Black Women at Work” is a labor of love that has been years in the making. Amongst all the insightful statistics about black women in the workplace, its main purpose is to give productive tips on how we move forward to create a more inclusive landscape and inspire positive change.

Sophie and James run Needy Cat Games - a tabletop game studio based in Nottingham, UK. As a studio they have a nearly unique model - designing games on demand for clients with IPs, miniatures and other assets rather than pitching their work to publishers. In this conversation we talk about how the studio model works, the so-called Kickstarter treadmill, how creativity arises from well constructed project briefs and the future of the game market.

The barriers faced by racial and ethnic minority women are significantly more complex than those which face white women. In the 2010 journal article “Women and Women of Color in Leadership,” authors Janis Sanchez-Hucles and Donald Davis argue that women of color face the compounded effect of “gendered racism.” They cannot separate the multiple aspects of their identity. This means that women of color carry a heavier load because they experience both sexism and racism, as well as the interplay between these forms of inequality. Their research finds that African-American women experience greater negative stereotypes because of the combined impact of racism and sexism and are more likely to experience discrimination, prejudice, and unfair treatment when it comes to promotions, training, advancement, and support. This compounded disadvantage is associated with increased stress and lower self-esteem. And, of course, women of color are not a uniform group, there is a variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds that individual women may identify with. This is further differentiated when you factor in age, sexual orientation, religion, and physical or mental ability. The more identities a person has and the more these differ from the stereotypical ideal worker standard, the more likely it is that they will experience the compounded effects of inequality.  In today's podcast we will be talking to Sophie Williams. Sophie is the author of 'Millennial Black' & 'Anti Racist Ally' . She is also a TED speaker and Racial Equity Consultant and Activist. In this episode we will share how we can move beyond performative allyship and become real success partners at work.

Rebecca Rowntree is a creative director & hosts a podcast telling the stories of women in the creative industries, and the challenges they've met on their way up the career ladder. She talks about how everyone is, obviously, individual but the common thread between many stories is a lack of confidence in finding a voice - something she has personally experienced, too. But, in her opinion, this difficult, but ultimately extremely worthwhile, journey to express yourself truly gives more meaning and connection to your life. However, as she says, there are no shortcuts to doing 'the work' to get there (sorry!). Rebecca really believes that self-discovery and knowledge are key to living a fulfilling, meaningful life and that nurturing your creativity is central to that process. She has many creative strings to her bow from writing stories and drawing in her spare time, to podcasting. Her podcast is called This Way Up and is all about sharing women’s stories of scaling the career ladder in the creative industries.

Sophie Williams is a music journalist currently writing for the NME. Chris and Alex talk to Sophie about mosh-pits, interviews, and of course, her beloved Arctic Monkeys.

After yet two more police shootings, and video of a black soldier being pepper sprayed, all in less than a week, this was an episode I originally planned to release as part of my next series in September, but I simply couldn't hold this back now. So, joining me on this week’s Power Done Differently is Sophie Williams, an advocate, activist, and author of the books Anti-Racist Ally and the newly released Millennial Black. A Creative Media Producer by trade, having worked on several notable productions including the Crown, Orange in the New Black and The End of The F***ing World, Sophie found herself the voice of a movement after an Instagram post went viral. We delve into all the uncomfortable topics we need to be having right now: We talk about George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Belly Mujinga, Stephen Lawrence, and so many other names that should still be here, how black women have been the backbone of much of social progress, defining what privilege looks like - for people off all ethnicities - and why you need to overcome the need to be liked by everyone. For Sophie, there’s a difference between simply not being racist and actively being an anti-racist. From her TEDTalk, we also discuss the glass cliff, how we all too commonly see it in politics today, and the regressive situation that is bound to happen when under-represented women of colour are placed into that poison chalice position. In her books, one of the suggestions Sophie makes for anti-racist allies is to “just listen” and so that’s exactly what I’ve tried to do, and I hope you will too. Real, relatable, or downright wrong?

This episode features the amazing Sophie Williams. For those who don’t know Sophie, she is a TED Speaker, a leading anti-racism advocate, and the author of two great books. The first, Anti-Racist Ally is an Introduction to allyship at home, work, and in the community, and was published in October of last year.  And just this week, I’m very excited as she has just released her latest book - Millennial Black. The book is the ultimate guide to the workplace for black women. It offers empowering, practical, and comprehensive advice for black women to build a career. But not only that it also has inspiring interviews from the likes of June Sarpong, Aja Barber, Candice Brathwaite, Naomi Ackie, and Munroe Bergdorf.  I feel extremely lucky to have recorded Sophie’s story as she is one busy lady and this episode brings you not only a great insight into her views but also how she got to where she is today. From a challenging time as a drama student and the all too familiar experience of being the only black person for the majority of her time at uni, to randomly falling into the world of advertising and to writing her book Anti-racist ally in just 9 days after a fateful social post threw her at the heart of an important debate. Regular listeners to the podcast will know that I love nothing more than to go deep and so I could not be more proud of this episode as it’s probably one of the deepest, most emotional, and important discussions I’ve had in a long time.

On today's episode I talk to Sophie Williams aka @officialmillennialblack - We discuss the overwhelm of having an Instagram account with 1k growing to over 100k within days and how that trajectory happened. We talk about how she manages with the pressure of a large following whilst also protecting her own energy and why the block button is something she doesn't hesitate to use. In our discussions Sophie shares her thoughts on what it really means to be an anti racist ally, how to keep the momentum of the work going and shares her views on creating change moving forward. Sophie also talks about her career and how she's always worked anti racism into her professional roles. She explains how she came to the decision that she needed to write a book when she couldn't find the book she was looking for and why she went super extra with her book proposal - plus some tips if you're thinking of looking at writing a book yourself.

Advertising exec-turned-author Sophie Williams was quietly preparing to promote her first book, Millenial Black, a manifesto for black women in business, when she unexpectedly became the voice of black allyship in the UK after one of her anti-racist Instagram posts went viral in June.

As I record this episode here in the United States, we are seeing boil over the anger, frustration, and rage over the killing of George Floyd, and more generally, police brutality disproportionately aimed at people of color and the systemic racism that has been so prevalent in our society. I typically don't dive into what's going on in the news, but this is not news. This has been going on for a long, long time. And either I speak up and run the risk of offending people, or I stay silent for fear of saying the wrong thing. Since I believe in uplifting people to speak their truth, I'm going to speak mine, as imperfectly as I might do it. I apologize in advance if my words are inelegant, if I “say the wrong thing,” and I'm open to learning and doing better. I talk about my own journey of coming to terms with my white privilege, just how unaware I've been, and what I've started to do to change that. And I offer a collection of resources that I've started learning from and that you might find helpful as well. I give action steps that you can take with your local government and police force, a list of organizations to which you can donate, businesses you can support, ways to have impact within your own company and even family, and a variety of things you can do on a day to day basis.
