Episode 6 - Barbara Blake-Hannah, Britain’s forgotten Black female TV reporter


Listen Later

The story of Barbara Blake-Hannah, Britain's first Black female TV reporter is more recent than our last few episodes and for many reasons that makes the bad parts of it even worse. Racism is a terrible but very present thing, especially within former colonialist countries such as Great Britain or the United States. Thank you to Fayruz Rajpar, a fellow journalist and beautiful friend who suggested I cover this story, to all my sources and to the wonderful Kemi Rogers who absolutely smashed her first guest appearance on Breaking Bard. Listen to Bryan Knight's in-depth conversation with Barbara herself on his YouTube channel.
