Happy New Year! We’re back with our first episode of 2023 in conversation with the UK’s youngest Black Professor, Jason Arday, Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Glasgow. This is a special episode for the network as it was our first LIVE podcast with an in-person audience as we hosted a JADE Conversation (Justice, Anti-Racism against Discrimination and the fight for its Elimination) with the GEM Staff Network.
This fascinating conversation covers Jason’s journey into academia, having been diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Autism when he was 3 and learning to re...
We're a huge fan of pulling the curtains back and letting you see behind the scenes. Earlier this year, we needed help turning the vision for our three shows (Before Our Friends Die, SOFA SENSEI'S and Cool.Fine.Done.Wicked) into a reality, so we enlisted the skill of professional photographer, Latrice Grant. Waaay back in March, we had a 2 HOUR consultation with him to ensure we were all on the same page and what you hear is the last 15 minutes of that chat where we summarise our ideas. It's facinating stuff.
Fast forward to now, we're about to release the images for you to see and we're su...

Hello, we are back with another episode of Before Our Friends Die. This is an important episode where we put a spotlight on Mental Coffee. A Northampton based organisation that encourages men (and for the first time, women!) to come together, have a coffee, and talk! That can be about struggles or not. It can be about solutions, or not. They're not pushy, but they are open.
We really enjoyed getting together with Brendon to have this chat and delve into his character, why he created the brand and why it is so, so needed.
Get stuck in and have a listen, we're sure you'll leave with somethin...

It takes a village to raise a child, isn't that right? Today, we feature a fantastic guest Eli, from @mindfulblackdad on Instagram. He popped on our radar after we saw a viral clip of him discussing a book about colours at his Son's nursey. The book depicted Black as scary, mean, bad etc and it led his son to not want to be Black anymore. He knew he had to do something but was stuck on how to approach it.
This conversation is our most open and candid yet. At the time of writing, neither of us at the akhi&saltfish Digital Network are parents but we were curious to get Eli's views on being a ...

We near the close of season 2 with a fantastic episode featuring amateur Grand Design-ers, Evie and Jerome.
They speak to their journey of getting their first property, falling into the renovation game that wasn't always the plan, enjoying it and maximising their networks to make the most of the opportunity.
Sometimes it’s not what you know, but who you know and that is exemplified here.
For us, this was an inspiring conversation of two people who took risks and went for want they wanted, while being financially savvy in the process.
