Emma Dabiri Instagram – This week’s Monday Muse is Irish author, academic and broadcaster Emma Dabiri, who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2023.
Emma Dabiri is a sought-after speaker, known for her insightful and thought-provoking discussions on race, gender, colonialism, and cultural issues. With a PhD in African Diaspora Studies and extensive experience, Dabiri brings a unique and informed perspective to these complex issues.
Dabiri uses her own body as a starting point for powerful explorations into race, gender, social codes and politics. From her tresses in the best-selling “Don’t Touch My Hair” – delving into why Black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation – to her relationship with her own sense of beauty in her must-read new book, “Disobedient Bodies: Reclaim Your Unruly Beauty,” she shows how the personal is political.
She tells The Wick why we need to expand our understanding of our minds and bodies, and which artist’s work she’d most like to own.
