Today’s episode opens with Kehinde making the realities of Black studies in the UK plain. Despite winning an award for critical pedagogy, the undergraduate Black Studies degree at BCU is being discontinued due to low recruitment and financial constraints.
We are also joined by Shani Akilah, a Black British Caribbean writer and screenwriter from South London. She is a book influencer, co-founded the Nyah Network, a book club for Black women, and Shani has a Masters degree in African Studies from Oxford University.
Kehinde and Shani, author of short story collection “For Such a Time as This," discuss the book, her journey into writing, her creative process and how having academic parents inspired her career. - GUEST LINKSWebsite https://shaniakilah.com/ Twitter : https://x.com/_shaniakilah IG: https://www.instagram.com/_shaniakilah/?hl=en - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X’s 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm’s legacy and build a global organization for Black people.
