Black Woman's Hour

In this week’s episode we discuss Elaine’s recent trip to Trinidad for Carnival. Also speak about International Women’s Day and nominate our Black Women of The Year. What did you all think of the #ChrisRock #Netflix show ‘Selective Outrage?’ Is Chris milking ‘The Slap’ now? Or is Ava correct in saying any comedian would do exactly the same. We discuss the depressing state of UK politics at the moment and ask if it’s time that we started to look elsewhere for somewhere to live. If you live in the UK and had to choose anywhere else to live - where would it be? Answer in the comments or on our Twitter page @hour_womansRemember to like, comment and share.

It’s our 50th episode! This week we ask if 50 is the new 40. Are we looking better than our parents did at our age? We discuss ‘Bold Faced’ Boris Johnson and ask how Carole Vorderman became the shero we didn’t know we needed. We also discuss the rise of the ‘Passport Bro’s and ask will Black women be following their white counterparts in becoming sex tourists? Finally we discuss age gap relationships and our own experiences with them…Remember to subscribe, like comment and share

This week we are discussing the fastest selling non fiction book of all time - Spare by Prince Harry. What impact will this have on the monarchy and does it have a place in modern Britain? Did Harry and Meghan have any choice but to leave the UK? Will they ever know peace?
