The Echo Chamber

It's been a while! In this episode we say goodbye - *sob*. We chat about our podcasting journey, reminisce on our fave episodes + reflect on some challenges. 

We're so grateful to our listeners who have continued to listen despite periods of patchiness sometimes. This podcast has been an integral part of both our lives and our friendship, and we will always have fond memories of it. Enjoy this final reflection from The Echo Chamber!

Lots of love + gratitude,

Jade + Ez x 

In this weeks episode we sit down and chat with Timi Sotire, editor of the anthology 'Black Joy'. We chat about what joy means to us, the revolutionary act of finding joy and being joyful as black people, and the process behind the production of the book. We chat about our parents, being joyful as a collective and as individuals, and how we're going to cultivate joy. 'Black Joy' is available to purchase where ever you buy your books.

In this episode we talk about the press-run and launch of Keisha The Sket by JadeLB. Jade talks about the journey, her emotions and some of the day-to-day realities of the whirlwind publication.

In this episode we talk about gendered oppression. We name some of our experiences of gendered violence, as well as how living as women presents specific dangers for us. We talk about the way this has lead to negative experiences in our sexual encounters with men and how these experiences are linked to wider narratives regarding misogyny in society. Jade names the link between misogyny and her desire to distance herself from Keisha The Sket for so many years and we both discuss the unlearning required for us to work towards living freely as Black women in Britain.
