Writing a romcom
Manage episode 354261759 series 3394885
It’s National Storytelling Week, so new author Taylor-Dior Rumble drops in to share a reading from her first novel, The Situationship. It’s being published by Stormzy’s Merky Books in the summer and is about something many of us will be familiar with.
De-Graft also catches up with Joy Battick, who now has two life-sized bronze statues of herself at Brixton Railway Station. Her first statue, installed in 1986, is thought to be one of the first public sculptures of a black British person in England.
And De-Graft talks to Chelsea Bailey - a BBC journalist who’s in Memphis, in the US - about Tyre Nichols. He died three days after he was beaten by police following a traffic stop. Video footage from police bodycams have been released and shared online. They are graphic, so De-Graft gets tips from Seyi Akiwowo - the CEO of Glitch - on controlling what you see online and digital self-care.
Presenter: De-Graft Mensah Producer: Kamilah McInnis Researchers: Paige Neal-Holder and Star McFarlane Sound: Kamilah McInnis and Dave O’Neill Editor: Alison Gee
