In the wake of the UK Parliament failing in its humanitarian duty to call for a ceasefire in Palestine, we discuss last week's rally outside Parliament and what our next steps should be as UK citizens to hold the government accountable. We also unpack Cassie Ventura's open-and-shut lawsuit against Sean Combs and the coloured conundrum African Americans faced recently when they realised South African artist, Tyla, wasn't (shock horror) Black.
In the spotlight: Sistah Space - an award-winning, community-based non-profit organisation that bridges the gap in domestic abuse services for African heritage women and girls.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse in the UK, please visit the NHS website here, which has a list of 24-hour helplines for women, men, LGBTQ+, forced marriage and honour crimes. In an emergency, call 999.
The next National March for Palestine is on Saturday 25th November. Assemble at Park Lane, 12pm. Click here for more information.

This week discuss the highlights from the latest National March for Palestine and the government's continued quest to twist the narrative about Israel's occupation of Gaza and the Free Palestine movement. We also unpack other humanitarian crises across the African continent, including Sudan and the DR Congo. Whether it's Gaza, climate change, the cozzy lives, DR Congo, Sudan or the housing market, everything is linked and we need to keep the conversation going!

With a healthy mix of ineptitude from the British media and misinformation spread on social media, we couldn't just sit down and record a normal episode this week. Joined by friend of the show, Busayo Twins, we take a deep dive into the history of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, unpack the myopic one-sided reporting from the British media (*insert shocked meme here) and ask, what can we do know in the wake of possibly witnessing a genocide in real time.

*Trigger warning: Femicide + gender-based violence*
This week was tough for us as we unpacked the senseless murder of 15-year-old Elianne Andam, who was fatally stabbed by a 17-year-old boy. The media have been doing the most, talking about knife crime and gang violence, but let's call it what it really is: Femicide. We decided to centre violence against Black girls and women back in the conversation and discuss where this violence stems from and what we can do to prevent gender-based violence.
In the Spotlight: Richie Brave, BBC Presenter, broadcaster and host of radio's biggest group chat 1XtraTalks.
Listen to Richie's latest episode of 1Xtra Talks, where he explores the fallout of violence and experiences of Black girls. Featuring Ebinehita Iyere from Milk Honey Bees, a Black-led safe space for girls/women. Guests: Tshayi Hercules of Gateway Girls, Croydon Father DJ Ace and facilitator Nathaniel Cole.

We've been gone for a minute but we're back! This week we discuss our surprise at the news of a police officer being charged with the murder of Chris Kaba. Will this lead to a conviction? Or are we just getting our hopes up? Plus, why were people taking to the streets to protect Lassie when rent was due last week? *Deep ancestral sigh*
In the Spotlight: Temi Mwale, abolitionist, educator and director of the 4 Front Project, a youth organisation that supports people to reimagine peace and justice.
Secret Policeman: Racism in the Police - the BBC Panorama documentary that revealed racism among police recruits in the Bruche National Training Centre in Warrington by an undercover reporter.

*Trigger Warning: Lucy Letby, infant death and medical racism*
We're going through it this week. But we thought it was important to show up and take a deep dive into the media's reaction to yet more evidence of medical racism and systemic failures within the NHS after the sentencing of Lucy Letby. Plus, we discuss what on earth is going on with Oja, the African & Caribbean online grocery store, and allegations of poor business practices and money management.

This week, we take a deep dive into the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion by Tory Lanez, the trial and Tory's subsequent sentencing (bye ashy). Where was the unwavering support for Megan during her ordeal and the trial from her celebrity peers? Is this a wider reflection of how our society treats Black women? It's safe to say that everything is linked, and all we ask is that you all do one simple thing; support Black women.
In the Spotlight: Yomi Adegoke and her debut novel, The List, which is out now.
