The week after the Bristol BLM protests, I wanted to interview Cleo Lake - Bristol’s former Lord Mayor, dancer, performer and ambassador for its African-Caribbean culture, also a Green Party Councillor.
We talked about her views for positive change, Greens of Colours, her work in Ghana to connect Caribbean, British and African cultures, and how her projects have been affected by the lockdown...
We also talked about her new podcast ‘AFRICAN AF’ and the role that African Caribbean people in the UK can have in the fight against the climate crisis.
Here is the entire conversation:
Part of our conversation was also featured this week in the Quarantini Podcast that I co-produce and present with Pommy Harmar here in Bristol.
We celebrated Windush Day (22 June), Refugee Week (15-21), and the summer Solstice, with music and our usual round up from Bristol, UK and around the world.
