On today’s episode I talk to Sophie Williams aka @officialmillennialblack - We discuss the overwhelm of having an Instagram account with 1k growing to over 100k within days and how that trajectory happened. We talk about how she manages with the pressure of a large following whilst also protecting her own energy and why the block button is something she doesn’t hesitate to use. In our discussions Sophie shares her thoughts on what it really means to be an anti racist ally, how to keep the momentum of the work going and shares her views on creating change moving forward.

Sophie also talks about her career and how she’s always worked anti racism into her professional roles. She explains how she came to the decision that she needed to write a book when she couldn’t find the book she was looking for and why she went super extra with her book proposal - plus some tips if you’re thinking of looking at writing a book yourself.
