Wisdom and Wellbeing With Dr Wannie

Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter. There is one generation that knows how to take full advantage of social media and make it work for them. In this episode, I try to work out what makes Generation Z... Generation Z. I am joined by Macy Lee, a Gen Z social activist to discuss more about what it actually means to make a change in real life, online. 

This is a minisode (mini-episode) to round up the season. Just me, no guest hosts, opening about some of the failures I have gone through and the lessons I have learned along the way.

In this week's episode I am joined my friend and actress Kristel Buckley to talk about life as a mixed race individual in present day Britain. Kristel is half black (Ghanaian) and half white (New Zealand) and grew up in London before moving to Newcastle for University. We discussed identity crisis, colourism and lots more.

In this episode I am joined by Chikumo Fiesko, blogger and business woman. We delve deep and chat about our experiences being in interracial relationships, exploring colourism, mixing cultures and racism. Its a juicy one!

Transitions from one season to the next can be ridiculously difficult. Knowing when its time to let go and the process of letting go is a tough life lesson everyone has to go through at least once in their life times. I'm joined by Leah Chilengwe, host of the Honest Discussion podcast and adopted Aunt to so many young people (including myself). She brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to a conversation that I think we all need to start.

We live in the era of the side hustle where online presence is everything. In this episode I chatted with my guest host, Olivia, a content creator and author of the 'Absolutely Olivia' blog. We discussed blogging, photography, creating an online presence and building a community online. 

In this episode I am joined by Tyler Simmonite, the host of A Blue Rhythm blog. We spoke about his journey with depression, both of our experience with counselling and tips to boost your mood including mindfulness.   

In this episode I am joined by my sister Kaseya to continue the conversation we had in episode 2. This time taking into account the black lives matter movement and the media storm surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd. We discussed why black people in the UK are so angry, racism in the church and what white people can do to be allies.

In this episode, I am joined by Alice Wass, host of the 'Reduce, Reuse, Reblog' podcast. We discuss the importance of looking after the environment, her journey to becoming more eco-friendly and how we can all do a little bit more to reduce the waste we produce.

In this episode I'm joined by my guest hosts Zunera and Aniekan. Interracial friendships are an inherent part of living in a multicultural society. But sometimes, when it comes to race, we avoid certain topics due to internal fears and general 'politeness'. The purpose of this discussion is to to open the door to start having the conversations we sometimes dread.  We discussed identity, prejudice, microaggressions and what its like growing up as an ethnic minority in the UK.
