Black Woman's Hour Episode #51: Women Rock

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 14:49:42 GMT

In this week’s episode we discuss Elaine’s recent trip to Trinidad for Carnival. Also speak about International Women’s Day and nominate our Black Women of The Year. What did you all think of the #ChrisRock #Netflix show ‘Selective Outrage?’ Is Chris milking ‘The Slap’ now? Or is Ava correct in saying any comedian would do exactly the same. We discuss the depressing state of UK politics at the moment and ask if it’s time that we started to look elsewhere for somewhere to live. If you live in the UK and had to choose anywhere else to live - where would it be?

This week we look at the Black communities relationship with the police. In a week where two police officers plead guilty of misfeasance in public office after photographing the bodies of two Black sisters, #NicoleSmallman and #BibaaHenry after they had been brutally murdered. We ask if the #SarahEverard case and the current public mood concerning the police could have a 'trickle down' effect meaning the Black community may start to get justice 'by proxy.'

After the Steve Mc Queen documentary #Uprising was aired earlier in the year, it was revealed that a double murderer called #MichaelSmithyman had confessed to starting the fire and the police swept it under the rug. We ask why Black lives seem to matter so little to the authorities.

Black Woman's Hour #28 - Fine Wine

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 22:59:49 GMT

We spoke to authors Carol Russell and Jane Evans who wrote the fantastic book 'Invisible to Invaluable' about unleashing the power of midlife women. INVISIBLE TO INVALUABLE Women born between 1950 and 1975 were pioneers in all areas of work and society, yet we have become almost completely invisible except to our families and friends, right at the time the world needs our wisdom, empathy and experience the most. OUR TIME IS NOW!

INVISIBLE TO INVALUABLE is a celebration of what midlife women do, who we are and what we are capable of. It's a rallying cry for us to change the world for the better. With personal stories, exciting research and insights from a cast of inspirational women, Jane Evans and Carol Russell's manifesto blows open the ageism that's sidelined midlife women at work and in society, and sets out an empowering vision for a world where we can unlock our full potential. In a collection of chapters that range from the powerful to the playful and from the distant past to a brighter future,

Jane and Carol show how there is no longer just 'young' and 'old' - there is a whole new middle that can be the best time of our lives. Even if we feel like we've hit rock bottom, or have disappeared entirely, there is a way back. This book will remind you how far we've come, show you what we're made of, and demonstrate how we can create a better future for all of us.

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 22:06:04 GMT

Those on the left of the political spectrum truly believe that racism or any other kind of prejudice does not exist amongst their ranks. Minorities would beg to differ. But what is 'left wing' racism and how does it manifest itself? We ask if the rise and fall of Jeremy Corbyn has left a power vacuum on the left? And where do minorities go when they feel alienated from their natural home?
