Ava DuVernay Motivation
I was asked by BBC Radio Northampton if I would like to be interviewed for a feature segment in their Black History Month Radio show.
I said YES before they’d finished asking me the question.
I was super excited as they wanted me to talk about a person of colour who had a big impact on me.
It got me thinking about all the powerful speeches I’ve listened to over the years and how I would love to talk about all of them.
So I decided to start a podcast called Black Power the Podcast.
Tune in and join me everyday this month where I will share with you some of the most empowering speeches from people of colour who inspire me to inspire you.
