Pre-Recording

 

Themes for our conversation

  • The role of blackness in your career journey thus far

  • The most formative experiences/lessons that you have learned from

  • The relationship between Black identity and gender identity and any advancements or setbacks as a result*

  • The biggest or most memorable ‘cock-up’ or ‘near miss’ of your career*

  • Navigating taking up space to feel comfortable in your blackness across your career*

  • The specific role played in the ecosystem of challenging anti-black racism within/through education

  • The reflections do you have for others

*These are the central pillars of the conversation

A few useful things to add:

  • I want to look it at it more as just a chat rather than an interview and so i'm hoping to colour in bits and not leave you hanging.

  • Prep work helps - especially if theres a particular story you want to tell to exemplify or illustrate a point.

  • I don't see you representing anyone beyond yourself, (though it might be that it taps into wider psyche and thought from other who similarly identify)

  • If you feel that there’s anyone that could be affected by what you say, feel free to show them the questions and what you might talk about that might involve them… especially if it’s had an impact on your own thought process as a result.

 

Post-Recording

 

What i’ll need from you

  • An image that can be used in the episode

  • Any social media handles that you may use (particularly Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn)*

  • A suggested title, based on how the episode sounds to you*

  • Some suggestions of which parts of the conversation stood out - so they can be included in the show notes*

  • A section of audio (primarily of you talking) that might sound good as a trailer*

  • *These are helpful - and are intended to you give you some control over what is published - but not mandatory

What i'll Do

  • Edit the clip, paying attention to:

    • Smoothing out the episode's cadence

    • Removing 'dead air' in the conversation

    • Minimising my voice on the conversation (for example when re-framing questions or adding parts not relevant to the aired conversation)

    • Shading out anything that could be 'incriminating' or too obvious about who you are talking about

    • Other relevant pieces of editing the episode

  • Send you a version of the clip to review

  • Create at template for your episode to be used on social media

  • Share the episode and links when ready for you to push out on your platforms/to your contacts & friends

I will talk through this again when we connect on zoom and can answer any further questions you may have along the way.
