Summary

This is a replay of a fascinating conversation I had in 2019 with the amazing Emma Dabiri, presenter, social historian and Sunday Times Bestselling author. She has been listed as one of the BBC’s broadcasting stars of the future, and one of The Observer's 2019 rising stars. In this episode we discuss her debut book Don’t Touch My Hair published by Penguin, a brilliant book about why black hair matters. Since this episode aired, Emma’s second book What White People Can Do Next which went on to be a Sunday Times and Irish Times bestseller. In this book she draws on years of research and personal experience to challenge us to create meaningful, lasting change. She is an incredible voice and I really recommend picking up a copy of both of her books! I hope you enjoy this episode and please don't forget to leave a rating or a review on iTunes, it really helps! :)Buy your copy of What White People Can Do Next: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9780141996738And Don't Touch My Hair: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/don-t-touch-my-hair/9780141986289
