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

Description

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.

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.
