405 - Joanna Jarjue - Started on The Apprentice now she's here...

Black in a Box

We follow up our March episode with Symeon Brown and Neef Ekpoudom, in which we discussed the plight of young people chasing fame and money as influencers, by welcoming former BBC Apprentice contestant, businesswoman Joanna Jarjue. Joanna joins Alahna, Dan and Dom to talk about achieving through adversity. We begin with her journey growing up in Wakefield after leaving Gambia (8:46), before moving on to Joanna's experience as a Black woman at a redbrick university (28:50). And then the juicy stuff, we speak about the Apprentice (41:28), the depiction of Black women by TV producers in the UK and finally her life path since the show (57:19). It's honest, it's candid and its good for your soul. Like. Share. Subscribe.
