#MerkyBooks authors Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi talk to Nadia Jae

Ace

Authors Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi talk to Nadia about their book Taking Up Space, Stormzy’s first acquisition on the #Merky Books imprint.

Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi, two recent Cambridge graduates, wrote Taking Up Space (The Black Girls manifesto) as a guide and a manifesto for change: tackling issues of access, unrepresentative curricula, discrimination in the classroom, the problems of activism and life before and after university. Featuring honest conversations with students past and present, Taking up Space goes beyond the buzzwords of diversity and inclusion and explores what those words truly mean for young black girls today.

Plus Nadia reloads Koffee at Glastonbury and plays this week's Ace in Pack from H.E.R and YBN Cordae.
