Black Lives Natter

Is a new UK monthly podcast and platform for black voices to be heard. Black Lives Natter Host Eljai Morais has a natter about lived experience as a Black Briton.

Black Lives Natter wants to create a place of celebration, of introspection, a place that upholds the many voices and intersectional stories of Black and Brown people in the UK. A platform of understanding, community, sharing and awareness. An informal place to have a bit of a chat; a natter. 

BLN podcast launches at Bush Theatre on 4th March to a live audience with special guest Christine Dean, former family lawyer and Deputy Leader of the Women's Equality Party. 

Eljai (she/her)  talks about life, politics and lived experience with Christine, joined by a live audience and with a Q & A post-interview. Join us after the podcast for BLN Live; a platform for up-and-coming Black British talent, from spoken word, music dance and cabaret.
