Welcome Back!!! Its Series 2 of Raise Her Up and we're starting with an absolutely incredible guest.
Our guest for Episode 1 of Season 2 is Sunday Times bestselling author, presenter, journalist, fashionista and all round role model Candice Brathwaite. Her first book, I Am Not Your Baby Mother, addressed the issue she found when she became a mother herself: that the media landscape was absolutely not representative of her own experience as a woman of colour. Her follow up, Sista Sister, was a series of essays setting out for a younger generation what she would have liked to know herself about things like money, friendship, love and self-respect, when she was growing up. She is back with her first work of fiction: a YA book, Cuts Both Ways, a love story - and she joins us on Raise Her Up to talk about all this and more.

The Lowdown on Breasts
Raise Her Up
10/19/22 • 31 min
Breasts. A body part. A source of nutrition, of insecurities, of worry, of sexual desire. Our relationship with breasts is complex, and may change at various points throughout our lives. As we watch our daughters grow up, we want them to feel acceptance and confidence in their changing bodies, without health, social or sexual factors influencing their perspective.
In this episode to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our guest is speaker, author, and podcaster... Dr Liz O’Riordan.
As a former breast surgeon who has herself had and recovered from breast cancer, she’ll talk us through all things breast-related, what’s normal and healthy, and what to expect from them at various times of our lives and cycles. She’ll also share her insights into the cultural side of breasts, taking in identity, women's relationships with their bodies, and how breasts are treated in our society and media.

Laura Coryton is an activist, campaigner and educator. You may recognise her name as the woman we have to thank for the abolition of the tampon tax. Laura started a petition to address the issue of VAT on period products after discovering the gender imbalance in our taxation system which unfairly penalises women. She went on to deliver her petition of 200000 signatures to Downing Street, and has since seen her campaign successfully culminate in the abolition of tax on period products. Since then, she has established her charity Sex Ed Matters, which delivers Relationship and Sex Education to schools, and has published a book, Speak Up!, to encourage young people to get involved in activism to make a fairer society.
