My guests in this episode are the first two people I had on the podcast: Ashley Bloom and Sovereign King. Two amazing black creators that I wanted to chat with again about their individual experiences growing up in the UK as a black person.
In this episode, we talk about their backgrounds, growing up, and how it influenced their perspective, educational material they have found really interesting/would recommend and steps people can take to feel like they are making a difference and are not powerless.
