After the US election this week, today's show host, Kehinde Andrews, links up with co-host Busayo Twins to weather this gloomy political climate and share some optimism for the future.
For this special feature, Busayo will be a regular cohost with Kehinde, where they chop it up about the politics of the day, highlighting the issues that matter and underlining their specific relevance to Black communities.
We need a name for this special feature so please send in your ideas and any questions for our hosts' next show through our socials channel or please email
[email protected] and we'll consider them. Thank YOU.
Busayo Twins is a thought leader doing political content online, including her show "Everything is Political" (get us all to realize that there is politics in most things we talk about or engage in) and Political Intrusive Thoughts. Busyao has been involved in the London School of Economics (LSE) Students' Union as both president and general secretary (social mobility and outreach stuff), president of the African and Caribbean Society at LSE, a strategic policy advisor at the Office for Students (working on closing attainment gaps), and community policy and strategy (at Black Curriculum), and most recently as strategic business development manager at ClearView Research (creating inclusive research).
