Chloe and thy.self were recently featured on @forbes and featured in @vogue - this Black queen is killing the game and we’re so grateful we got to chat with her about life, wellness, and taking spaces that weren’t made for us by storm. #BlackExcellence ABOUT thy.self and Chloe PierreThrough carefully curated events, workshops and talks, thy.self is broadening access to wellness to communities who were previously unable, unaware and underrepresented within the wellness industry as well as creating a safe space to open conversations around women’s issues for overall wellbeing and prioritising diversity within the industry. thy.self is a community based in London with a links, reach and ties across the UK and we're growing internationally very quickly! We are focused on re-discovering and bringing a new meaning to self-care and self-love, whilst tackling challenging issues, through our thy.self events and making wellness accessible to diverse communities through our outreach and everything we do. What we essentially offer, is a safe space in regular thy.self events for women ages 16-65+ yrs (and men!), to discuss self-care and self-love, connect with other like-minded individuals and to empower themselves in the hopes of making a more positive future for our societies. With a dedicated focus on consulting brands on their social and cultural responsibility, Chloe prioritises full service account management alongside thy.self commitments, by remaining client facing, building relationships, community, communication, content to drive consumer engagement and brand loyalty to build/ protect brands influence whilst linking them with communities and individuals on the ground.

In this episode, co-host Cephas interviews Jess Mally about the recent events in regards to racism in the US, the global response and the urgent calls for change here in the UK.The episode was recorded one day after Jess attended the Black Lives Matter protest in London and is a raw and honest expression. This isn’t a polished conversation and we certainly hadn’t planned to release this type of episode as our first one. However it felt wrong to abide by our initial schedule - business as usual is out the window.We hope that this conversation will shed light on the dynamics at work when it comes to systemic racism and add to the calls across the world that changes have to be made and they have to be made now.Jess references a few books and resources those who want to start the work of antiracism might want to pick up. You can find a small list below.There is so much more that can be said and done and we at The Third Way are committed to playing our part in bringing change. So this is only the first of many episodes addressing these issues.Our introductory episode in which we give context to the podcast, introduce ourselves and more will air next Wednesday (10th June 2020).In the mean time, we hope you find this episode helpful and we would love to hear from you.Follow us on instagram @thethirdwaypodcast and twitter @thethirdwaypodThank you for listening.Jess and CephasBOOKS TO READ:Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race - Rennie Eddo LodgeMe and White Supremacy - Layla F SaadWhite Fragility - Robin DiAngeloNatives - AkalaBlack and British.
