  • Ep 90 Never would I ever: 2025 edition

    Ciao people,

    We're back with a cosy and reflective on the year 2025. The end and the beginning of the year can be hard as we reflect on the past and prepare for the year ahead. This episode isn't perfect, but I'm sharing what I never thought would be possible in 2025 from being a published writer to finding new friends.

    I hope you find things to cherish while preparing for the year ahead.


    With care,

    Benny

  • EP 82 Racial Profiling in Italy: Ramy, Fares and Moussa

    Ciao Everyone,

    Happy New Year!

    As a podcaster and activist, it is my duty and responsibility to report on what's happening in Italy. The last few months of 2024 were marked by the killing by the Italian police of Moussa Diarra and of Ramy Elgaml.

    The Italian police has proven that the report by ECRI on racial profiling is a fact and not opinion, contrary to what President Mattarella said.

About The Chronicles of A Black Italian Woman

From the publisher's feed

I am an awkward (cit. Issa Rae) Afroitalian from Brescia, near Milan, based now in Florence, Italy but I lived in Rome for the last 8 years. I lived in London and dreamt about the US as a kid. Through this podcast, I want to share the variety of the Black experience and more through different topics from pop culture to history, society, culture, faith, wellness etc... also with guests in the segment “Diasporahood”
