New dinner guests join host Sabrina Clarke for her first-ever curated table. Let’s clap for that! We welcome Ade, Karl, Kwasi, Michael and Rob to the table to break bread, chew the fat and serve up some food for thought. As expected, our Host and dinner guests get right to it. The conversation opens with the table exploring the media’s newfound taste in chocolate-skinned men. The Black community still deals with colourism, but are men like Daniel Kaluuya and Damson Idris really changing the game for dark-skinned Black men? Are dark-skinned Black men an acquired taste or just the flavour of the month?  

The table also discusses Idris Elba’s comments about no longer being referred to as a Black actor. What impact do his comments have on Black men who are supporters of his and have to navigate the world of work, if any? Are Idris’ words and perspectives helpful or harmful? The South London Chapter of the #DarkSkinnedSociety speak with their minds and says everything with their chests.   

Ade, Karl, Kwasi, Michael and Rob are BRKIN Bread Guests for Episodes 7-9.   

BRKIN Bread Episode 8 premieres on Wednesday, 3 May 2023 at 7 pm BST/ 2:00 pm EST.    

Looking for Episodes 1-3? They are now exclusively available on audio, including who the guests would invite to dinner.
