S1 Ep9: Six months since Blackout Tuesday ⬛️ Was it a movement or a trend?

BLM (aka Black Lives Matter), one of the most talked about topic this year. As part of this movement, a huge campaign called Blackout Tuesday was created on Tuesday 02 June where 28 million people across the world posted a black square ⬛️ within 48 hours to support the BLM movement. And to talk about this topic, I bring my friend Wendy (thanks babe) onto my show to talk about her point of view as a black woman, born and raised in Paris and now living in London with her partner Aky (hi Aky).

We hear from Wendy on her views on whether Blackout Tuesday created an impact - or was it just a trend? So if you're one of the 28 million (or more) who posted a black square in June, this one's for you!

Wendy and I also discuss our lives growing up as a minority and some of the allyship between blacks and asians. How Yellow Peril came about in the US and how it was repurposed to support the Black Panther Group in the 60's. Also, in the UK, I discuss the Grunwick Strike (a company that owned Tripleprint, Doubleprint and Bonusprint (blast from the past) where 80% of the workforce were Asian and getting paid 60% less than the UK average and working in poor conditions.

Do you have any feedback on this episode? You can find me on insta https://www.instagram.com/chinesechippygirl/ or email me chinesechippygirl@gmail.com. And feel free to send Wendy some love https://www.instagram.com/wen_dydylyns/. We'd love to hear from you.
