Two Twos Podcast

This week we was joined but the wonderful Sadie Sinner and Cassie Leon of The Cocoa Butter Club, to talk all things black queer cabaret...

The Cocoa Butter club was launched by Sadie back in 2016 and has grown into a global company that showcases and celebrates performers of colour within the cabaret scene around the world!

From decolonizing the idea of cabaret to the lack of representation in Channel 4's 'Black to Front' project, we really got into it with this episode, so stay tuned as you don't want to miss out...

It’s just the two of us for this weeks episode so you know we had a good old chat... We spoke about everything from our fave gay YouTubers to keeping parts of our lives private from the public.

This week we caught up with Ghanaian-Romanian musician and activist, Wanlov The Kubolor.

Wanlov shed light on the laws Ghanaian MPs are currently trying to put in place, which will criminalise the promotion of LGBT+ rights.
