Black Women in Europe® (BWIE) Podcast

Antonella Bundu from Florence, Italy, where she is a city council member, leading the left opposition "Sinistra Progetto Comune" group. Her work as an anti-racist and anti-fascist in Florence led to her standing as a candidate in the mayoral election. In 2019 she was a candidate to be Mayor of Florence, making her the first black woman to run for mayor of a major Italian city.

Today we talk to Dr. Monique Y. Wells about the African American Artist Beauford Delaney. This is a fascinating story of Monique's research into Beauford's life and the continuing discovery of his work has led her to explore the fascinating stories of other African Americans who came to Paris to pursue their passion for the visual arts. 

Because of her work with study abroad programs, she is aware that African American writers and musicians are far more frequently the focus of such programs than artists. Through projects supported by her newest non-profit organization, the Wells International Foundation, she is committed to rekindling the historical renaissance that 19th- and 20th-century African American artists experienced in the City of Light. 

Dr. Monique Y. Wells is a multipreneur – she’s a preclinical safety professional, productivity expert, writer and editor, speaker, and travel professional. A 23-year resident of Paris, France, she is co-founder of the travel planning service Discover Paris! and the creator of the company's Entrée to Black Paris tours and activities.

In October each year, Black History Month is marked in some European countries to celebrate and highlight the lives and the achievements of Black people throughout history and in the present. It is also a month of discussion, reflection and campaigns which bring challenges faced by Black communities to light. 

For our first Black History Month episode, we talk to Daphne Di Cinto, Screenwriter, Film Director, Actor, and Creative Writer. She is the director of the upcoming film Il Moro -The Moor. The true story of Alessandro de' Medici. The son of an enslaved African woman and Pope Clement VII turns out to be the heir to the Medici dynasty and becomes the first Duke of Florence, despite his own family having trouble accepting him.
