Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 182 we get better acquainted with Reni Eddo-Lodge. She talks about coming to mainstream journalism via activism and blogging, analyzing how power works, how the both the left and the media are held back by viewing everything through the lens of middle class white men, the "Great Intersectionality Wars" of 2012, black feminism, cultural capital, critical race theory and more. If that makes the conversation sound academic and dry then let me assure you it really isn't. The conversation takes place in a busy cafe in Hackney, Reni is battling the end of an illness, I am battling my privilege based ignorance, but despite that we manage to have a great conversation about race, class, gender and the media. http://renieddolodge.co.uk/ Reni plugs: Email her if you want her to speak at things you are doing: http://renieddolodge.co.uk/contact/ You can find her online at: https://twitter.com/renireni I plug: Stand Up Tragedy: Tragic Horror: https://www.facebook.com/events/707597412628896/ Tragic Friends Act
