The Student Guide (formerly Pick Up The Mic) is Pick Up The Mic’s flagship conversation series, based in the UK. We believe everyone is a student of life. Whether you’re at university, building your career, changing direction, or simply trying to grow.
Each episode features honest, impactful conversations with founders, professionals, and community voices, exploring themes like race, identity, wellbeing, belonging, and personal development. We also spotlight practical support, tools, and resources that can help you navigate life’s big transitions. From education and work to confidence, purpose, and community.
At its heart, The Student Guide is rooted in real stories: our journeys, lessons, setbacks, and wins, shared to help listeners feel seen, learn something new, and take their next step with clarity.

Episode 7 - Colourism (With Jess Barry)
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.
