The gravest crime against humanity : Slavery, UN Recognition, and What Comes Next

The Verdict: Karmelo Anthony and America's Crisis of Justice

When 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, the case ignited a fierce national debate in America over race, self-defense, and justice. As many questioned whether young Black men are too often perceived and punished as adults rather than children, the verdict became a flashpoint in a larger conversation about fear, fairness, and America's unresolved racial divide.

What Happens When Black Women Disappear?: A family’s grief & media bias in Britain

Three sisters. One tragedy. And a painful conversation about race, grief, and visibility. In this episode, I explore the deaths of Jane Adetoro, Christina Walters, and Rebecca Walters, and the wider discussions surrounding Black women, media attention, institutional distrust, and public empathy in the UK. This is not about conspiracy theories or spreading misinformation. It is an honest and compassionate conversation about why so many Black women feel unseen until tragedy forces attention.

The gravest crime against humanity : Slavery, UN Recognition, and What Comes Next

In this episode, I unpack the United Nations’ historic decision to declare the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. Blending history and lived experience as a Black woman, this episode explores the true scale of slavery, its lasting global impact, and the uncomfortable truths behind the UN vote. From the Middle Passage to modern inequality, and from Haiti’s debt to today’s reparations debate, this is more than a history lesson—it’s a conversation about justice. Because recognition matters, but the real question is: what happens next?

AFCON Final Overturned: When the Final Whistle Wasn’t the End

This episode explores the controversial Africa Cup of Nations final where Senegal’s on-field victory was later overturned by the Confederation of African Football. I break down what happened, the backlash it sparked, and why figures like George Weah say the decision has damaged African football’s credibility — raising bigger questions about trust, governance, and the future of the game.

Oscars 2026: Sinners, One Battle After Another & the Bigger Picture

In this episode, I share my reflections on the 2026 Oscars, focusing on the night’s biggest talking point — the success of Sinners and its loss of Best Picture to One Battle After Another. While Sinners took home major awards, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan and Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, its overall outcome sparked widespread debate. I explore what the results reveal about the film industry, including ongoing conversations around racism and the under-recognition of films centred on African American experiences. I also discuss about the controversy surrounding One Battle After Another, particularly discussions about the portrayal and fetishisation of Black women, and why these themes resonated so strongly with audiences. This is more than a recap — it’s a look at what the Oscars say about whose stories are celebrated, whose are overlooked, and why that still matters today.
