Hello Lovely. I hope you are well in these uncertain times. The last week has been challenging for a lot of black folk around the world, and we wanted to have a conversation about Race relations in a way that added value to the narrative. So we asked Charmaine Magumbe to come and have a chat with us about the topic and answer some questions people had.

Hie, thank you for visiting the channel. This is Part 2 of 3 of the Colorism discussion. The theme for this month's "Let's Talk with Ms. Fadzo" is Colorism in different communities and what the implication of it look like across these cultures. The first week is Colorism in the black community, week 2 is Colorism in the brown community, week 3 is Colorism in the white community and in week 4 we speak to some professionals on race relations and what they think.

Comment below if you have experienced the effects of colorism in any way. Let's start a discussion.

Why we decided to address this topic:

1. Dark-skinned girls, ‘love yourself for who you are.’ (2020, April 30). Retrieved from https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-52470302

2. Travis Andrews, A. F. (2018, February 5). Beyoncé’s father takes on ‘colorism’: He dated her mother because he thought she was white. Retrieved from https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/02/05/beyonces-father-airs-colorism-he-dated-her-mother-because-he-thought-she-was-white/

***********

Book Recommendations From My Friend around the topic of colourism:

1. Evening Primrose/Period Pains by Kopano Matlwa - it covers gender, xenophobia, period pains in post-apartheid South Africa. A short read, but the topics are quite heavy. Fair warning.

2. Also by Kopano Matlwa is *surprise* Coconut - the writing in this was confusing at times. It covers the perspectives of two black girls who are in predominately white communities. I don’t remember too much it’s been over a year since I read it. lol

3. If you’re into poetry, Upile Chasala has a great trilogy of poetry books. They don’t really connect but do. Shes, a Malawian author, her poetry is excellent.

4. A Zim author Panashe Chigumadzi’s book These Bones Will Rise Again I’ve been sampling, so I shall see how it goes.

5. And For the apartheid, Trevor Noah. Born a crime was genuinely well written. Covers apartheid and his experience as a coloured person in apartheid South Africa. This may be one of my favourites.

Black History Month at our University seems to have become just an opportunity to showcase talents and sit down and complain about systems that have existed for many many years. In this episode, we discuss what Black history month means to us as well as what we can be doing to make sure people are aware of why it is celebrated and what we could be doing at our universities. This was hosted through the platform of TRENT RADIO AT 92.7 FFFM

The last episode of Breakfast and Chit- Chat is out and its popping. Reflecting on some of the things I learnt this year and things I'm grateful for. Honestly, this year was my year of breakthroughs. I cried. I laughed, I fought, and I won. Through it all, God showed me what a little faith could do and how he loves us unconditionally, even when we know we have sinned so much. He still loves up.

Thank you so much for all the support you have given us this year. We love and appreciate you so much.

I had the honour of being invited to a Luncheon with Mr. Stephen Lewis and a number of influential people in my community. This podcast gives the three things I learnt from the meeting. I really hope you learn something from it.

Here is some information about Stephen Lewis and the work he does:

Stephen Lewis is the co-founder and co-director of AIDS-Free World, an international advocacy organization. He is also the board chair of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Mr. Lewis is a past member of the Board of Directors of the Clinton Health Access Initiative and Emeritus Board Member of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. He served as a Commissioner on the Global Commission on HIV & the Law and on the Lancet Commission on Public Health and International Drug Policy. Stephen Lewis’ work with the United Nations spanned more than two decades. He was the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa from June 2001 until the end of 2006. From 1995 to 1999, Mr. Lewis was Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF at the organization’s global headquarters in New York. From 1984 through 1988, he was Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations.

From 1970-1978, Mr. Lewis was the leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party, during which time he became a leader of the Official Opposition. Mr. Lewis is the author of the best-selling book, Race Against Time. He holds 42 honorary doctorates from Canadian and American universities.

In 2003, Stephen Lewis was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada, Canada’s highest honour for lifetime achievement. In 2007, King Letsie III, monarch of the Kingdom of Lesotho (a small mountainous country in Southern Africa) invested Mr. Lewis as Knight Commander of the Most Dignified Order of Moshoeshoe. The order is named for the founder of Lesotho; the knighthood is the country’s highest honour.

This week's featured episode is from a radio interview I had with an extremely talented lady named Kavya. We talk all things Zimbabwe; from the economy to the roles that women play in society and so much more. We played some great music and had some amazing conversations.

Tune in to her radio show every Friday at 1pm @TrentRadio.
