Yomi Adegoke #2 - "It was easier to overcome what you didn't know existed." They, Defined
-
- Society & Culture
Yomi Adegoke is one of Britain's best writers, seamlessly weaving together Shakespeare, the Bible and an encyclopaedic knowledge of reality TV history. In part 1 of our conversation, Yom and I touch on what her childhood taught her about storytelling, the nuances of representation, and the dangers of teaching a young black woman about the societal injustices she is likely to face before she has the chance to define herself for herself.
