Episode 7
We've got Jess Barry, a recent graduate and prospective author working on a book about the intricacies of sexism and the cognitive network that forms our perception; as a new wave of solutions to internalised misogyny. We're touching on the topic of colourism in this episode, and will be talking about how Black-Ish addresses the issue, how people can educate themselves on colourism, and who inspires Jess in her day-to-day life. We'll be also talking about why Chika Okoro is our latest MC Of The Month.
