In 2023, I started working with one of the executive producers behind Severance, the hit Apple TV show finally getting the recognition it deserves, when I had a very stressful experience…. My latest post about what it means to separate your work and conscious selves, and how the way I watch TV has changed Is Severance the new Matrix? Link in bio 💊🧇⬇️🐐🛗🍉🧠💡🤔
Comment the word ‘AFUA’ and I’ll DM you a link to the episode 💌 Afua Hirsch: My afro was “too big” for TV news In this conversation activist, writer and broadcaster @afuahirsch opens up about making sense of her dual-heritage identity, and how by challenging western beauty standards she has reconnected with her own body, beauty ideals, and culture. Afua also discusses her experiences as a TV news reporter; being told her afro was too big for TV, and that racism doesn’t exist by a panel of white people. Through her activism and writing, Afua has helped countless people to understand and articulate the black-British experience. She is a true inspiration and a force to be reckoned with! A huge thank you to @melodicjanelle and @iamayahaidar for joining us! OUT NOW! @palomafaith
