THE PROBLEM WITH BLACK BRITS IS??... DR JASON ARDAY, ALI G, BOUNCER - SPECIAL GUEST LYDIA FORSON

Your favourite Aunties, Ak and Nana are back with another packed episode, joined by Ghanaian actress and Kinky Matters founder Lydia Forson.

AUNTYVENTION

🫂 This week’s Auntyvention looks at the conversation around Loyce Nagawa, after she publicly shared her experience of an alleged sexual assault and the online commentary that followed. When someone shares something this sensitive, what responsibility do content creators have when questioning, critiquing or discussing their story?

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

💐 Bukky Asehinde, founder of TALES House London, for creating a permanent home just off Oxford Street showcasing African and diaspora fashion, art, homeware and lifestyle brands.

💐 The Montgomery Riverfront Brawl, three years on from the moment Black solidarity, a heroic swim and one folding chair entered the history books.

💐 The LOX, five years after absolutely bodying Dipset in one of the most memorable Verzuz battles ever. A special one for Aunty AK, who was also busy surviving Covid at the time!

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS

🚩 The Jason Arday controversy, as the former Cambridge professor faces fresh scrutiny over his academic record and allegations of misconduct, which he denies, while Kehinde Andrews argues we're watching a smear campaign.

🚩 Ariana Grande's team... or is it us? As she steps away from public life citing relentless scrutiny, the Aunties ask where concern ends and invasive commentary begins.

🚩 Sacha Baron Cohen for deciding that 2026 is apparently the year we needed Ali G back.

🚩 Black British women?! After April Jackson claimed Black American women have been more supportive and welcoming to her than Black British women. Generalisation or uncomfortable conversation worth having?
