I have a VERY special episode with you today. Giving you a mini solo episode from me on the current state of play and this current "momentum" in anti racism work.
And introducing my very special guest. My Dad.
We talk about growing up as a black boy in London, my granddad and Windrush, weddings, sibling rivalry and what he REALLY thinks about me doing this work. As a highly skilled martial artist, we also talk about martial arts can teach us about discipline, self compassion and never giving up.

I couldn't think of a more perfect time to release this episode with Tamu Thomas who I call The Queen of Joy. She is a joy seeker holistic & somatic coach and founder of Live Three Sixty.
Seeking out joy at times of adversity is VITAL for our mental health and building resilience. In this episode we go all the way there and back. We talk about what it was like being raised by activists, race hierarchies, over functioning and burning out, the power of managing and expressing BIG feelings and not being frightened by them, forgiveness, ancestry and the importance of going inwards and prioritising doing the inner work to allow for collective healing
And of course, joy. You can connect with Tamu over on instagram: @livethreesixty and find out more about her work here: https://www.livethreesixty.com and her monthly Every Day Joy membership here: https://www.livethreesixty.com/everyday-joy-membership
I hope this episode brings your nourishment.

Going solo again today troops.
There is a lot to discuss.
In this episode I am discussing white fragility and how it presents itself in white women, the relationship between black people and white women and police brutality. The wonderful James Baldwin, the essence of activism and why we need to do better and fast.
Please note I discuss in detail some fo the brutality inflicted on black people, so particular if you are black/ brown you may find distressing, so please exercise self care and proceed with causation - if you are white, this is an awareness and educational piece and an invitation to you to sit in the discomfort of this reality.
This episode ends with a one minute silence for George Floyd.

In this episode broadcast during mental health awareness week 2020 I have the pleasure of being by Chloe Davies Head of PR and Partnerships at MyGWork.
We talk about parenting 2 under 5, reproductive health and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, discrimination in health care services and how that can have a detrimental impact on outcome. We also talk about why prioritising individual mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is important now more than ever, racism in the LGBTQ+ community, true allyship, identity and how Covid-19 can trigger being back in the closet, the impact of not being able to access true freedom and living in your truth. We also explore all of this while navigating mental health while being a black woman.
We cover a lot of important ground so dive on in.

In this episode I have the pleasure of interviewing one of my favourite human beings; Creative Coach and Founder of A Life More Inspired, Nicola Rae Wickham.
In this open hearted and RICH conversation, we talk about growing up in Britain and navigating every day racism. We talk about trying to fit in and find a sense of belonging and competition within the black community. We also talk about what holds people back from being themselves and share some of the nuances of running a business when black. We also talk about the coaching industry and its link to white supremacy (oh yes) and the magic that comes from being able to be yourself, wholeheartedly.
Relax and enjoy and let us know what you think!
You can connect with Nicola over at @alifemoreinpsired on instagram and find out more about her services, including the launch of her digital membership for big hearted creatives "Dream and Do" up over at www.alifemoreinspired.com and you can also check out her podcast, "Dream and Do Podcast" available on your favourite podcast host.

Flying solo today as I share a few thoughts of what's been going on behind the scenes, events that have unfolded this week.
I talk about systemic and overt racism, white silence in the wellness communities and friendship circles, why it happens so often and why it is so palpable and painful. The impact of bias reporting in media. I also talk about white women and black women, & the risk of speaking your truth in these friendships. Plus the power of apology and why it's often those closest to us who struggle with these two powerful words the most.
Content warning: In parts of this episode I am discussing overt racism and the murder of 25 year old young black man Ahmaud Arbery. Please be mindful and practice self care if you are BIPOC.

In this episode I interview counsellor, coach and founder of Motherheart Joanne Bradford.
There is so much vulnerability and open hearted conversation in this episode. It is VERY special. We discuss being sober and the link between confronting addiction and behaviour that doesn't serve us and becoming anti-racist.
We also talk about some of Joanne's anti racism journey, her experience of doing Layla Saad's groundbreaking #meandmywhitesupremacy challenge and how others perceived her while she was doing it. We also explore some self interrogation during the recording. We discuss the concept of 'tone policing' and the importance of accountability. We discuss relationships that do and don't serve us, barriers to accessing therapy for people in Black Minority Ethnic communities and what we can do to better create safe spaces.
Joanne even turns the episode upside down and she becomes the accidental host and me the interviewee!
Relax and enjoy!
You can connect with Joanne over at @motherheart on instagram and via motherheart.co .
