Natalie Morris: on real change behind the writing

48m · We Are Black Journos Podcast · 13 Sep 10:55

Journalist and author Natalie Morris has had a life changing 18 months; publishing her first book called: Mixed/Other: Explorations of Multiraciality in Modern Britain. The book looks at what it is like to be someone of mixed heritage in Britain. Less than a year before the book release, Natalie lost her father and renowned journalist Tony Morris.

Natalie shares with us the process behind publishing her book on such a strong discussion around race and identity, her father's legacy and work ethic, and the strong need all newsrooms need to implement more than ever before when it comes to diversity and inclusion.


Hosted by: Sylvie Carlos.

What's a comfort zone?

Inspirational  journalist and friend of WABJ, Charlene White, once said to us in a talk: 'as a journalist, you should travel. Get out of your area!' - and it couldn't be more fitting for our two guests in this episode.


Shamaàn Freeman-Powell and Zahra Warsame both took the admiral plunge to take their dreams and inspirations far away from their homes, and share their inspiring journeys so far, no filter included.
