EPISODE 17: Misogynoir - Black History Month UK

This is Episode 1/5 of our October / Black History Month edition

For five weeks during October / Black History Month UK, we’ll be handing over the mic to VERVE Operative and blogger, Chanju Mwanza for a She/Said Melanin Takeover.
Chanju will be welcoming a range of guests including Stella Dadzie, one of the authors of Heart of the Race, Black Women’s life in Britain.
The Melanin Podcast Takeover will be covering topics like misogynoir, the politics of black hair and how to survive a white curriculum that denies your voice.

Chanju Mwanza reads her blog from VERVE She/Said titled "Feminist Facts: What is Misogynoir?"
After reading her blog - Chanju is joined by VERVE London Operative Karine Davilmar to talk about what Misogynoir means to them as Black Women living in London.
