Listen Later

This week on 1Xtra Talks, Richie concludes his season of spotlighting, celebrating and hailing up Black women in sport with a special roundtable. He sits down with Footballer and Broadcaster Eni Aluko, Athlete and Business Woman, Ama Pipi and Boxer, Natasha Jonas, who was the first British woman to compete at the Olympics. These women share their career journeys, their experiences and responses to dealing with racism as athletes, and what it's like to date!

We also hear from 12-year-old athlete Nia Marshall on what she loves most about the sprinting and who inspires her so early on in her journey.

Lastly, Richie Brave transports us to Grenada, amid the Carnival and Spicemas celebrations.

Richie sits down with Ian Charles from Jambalasee, cultural archivist dedicated to documenting Grenada’s Jab Jab Carnival traditions. He talks about the history of the Jab drums and their cultural significance, as well as recounting what it's like to attend Carnival after the tragedy of a hurricane.

He's also joined by Anika Alexander, Grenadian-born cultural content creator, influencer and storyteller, best known by her handle 'Nutmeg Princess'. Anika delves into the importance of honouring traditional mas and recounts how the people continue to persevere through the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

And finally, Michael Pierre, a respected elder from Paraclete, Grenada, a village up in Grenada’s country. Michael shares wisdom and lived experience of the island’s resilience.
