Do you believe in big breaks? I think this episode with actor, writer, and director Kayode Ewumi was one of our most contentious. He said some things that either bothered me or challenged me as a Black writer. Listen here: blackprosepod.com #blackprosepodcast #rollsafe

Golden advice ✨
This was such a beautiful chat with R&B sensation @ShaesUniverse. We spoke about having a clear vision, insecurities, being on the cusp of superstardom, rest and the storytelling in her debut album Love’s Letter. Listen here: blackprosepod.com #blackprosepodcast #love

"The UK has a way of making you very small minded, making you feel like if you want this, you're punching...you want a bit too much, you're aiming a bit too high. Subconsciously you start to conform to that way of thinking. Don't limit yourself."

Who are two Black writers @yomiadegoke really admires? That would be @BernardineEvari and @nelsabbey. Are there any others you think deserves their flowers too? 💐 #blackprosepodcast #podcast #blackwriters

You’re never too old to be a student. It’s why @yomiadegoke booked onto a writing retreat whilst writing #TheList and tackling fiction for the first time. #blackprosepodcast #podcast #writingretreat

I enjoyed speaking with @yomiadegoke at the @blackprosepod live show about her Sunday Times bestsellers Slay in Your Lane and The List, why more of us should free ourselves from looking like a beginner, and so much more. Listen here: blackprosepod.com #blackprosepodcast
