    Special Guest Melissa Berry - Jason Arday, Blueface & Are Black British Women Too Stush?

    Your favourite Aunties, Ak, Farrah and Nana are back with another packed episode, joined by Melissa Berry, aka Mel Boss Lady, executive coach, leadership expert and founder of PowHer Collective. AUNTYVENTION 🫂 Following the devastating death of Professor Jason Arday, the Aunties reflect on the media storm that surrounded him, racism, accountability and our own responsibility when criticism becomes a public pile on. Jason died aged 41, shortly after resigning from Cambridge amid allegations he denied, with his family condemning what they described as a sustained campaign of harassment. 💸 And how do you actually ask for your money back? Apparently Gen Z are losing serious money because they find chasing friends for what they owe too awkward. Group dinners, holidays, concert tickets... when does being polite become being out of pocket? WELCOME TO THE FAMILY 💐 Adrian and Tara Thorpe, for showing the internet what 23 years of marriage and knowing how to take a joke looks like. After Adrian's comments about Tara's edges and bum had social media ready to defend her honour, the couple handled the whole thing with jokes, banter and a 24 hour deadline for everybody to get their think pieces off. ENEMIES OF PROGRESS 🚩 The NHS and TfL, as nurses reportedly faint in sweltering wards and London bus drivers take action over cab temperatures reaching around 40C. 🚩 The white dad who told his mixed race son his Afro fade was "too urban". His son loved his haircut. Dad clearly had other ideas. 🚩 Blueface, Chrisean and maybe all of us, because at some point we have to discuss why we keep making the wrong people famous. A livestream involving a 21 year old dark skinned woman descended into colourism, racism and her being put out of Blueface's car at 4am. 🚩 Jan Leeming, for criticising Charlene White and for claiming Black, Asian and other non white people have an easier route to success. 🚩 Loose Women, as separate claims from Chrystal Rose and Nadia Sawalha raise questions about who gets a voice on the panel and what happens when women don't fit the show's preferred mould. 🚩 Afroman, after accusing Africans of selling Black Americans' ancestors into slavery and describing Africans in America as arrogant and disrespectful. RUN TO THE COMMENTS 🏃🏾‍♀️ Are Black British women stiff, stush and unfriendly? You lot had plenty to say after our April Jackson conversation, including some Black British women agreeing that our American sisters might just have us beat when it comes to warmth and sisterhood. This is the honest conversation you won't hear anywhere else. www.yourauntiescouldnever.com

AUNTYVENTION 🫂 This week’s Auntyvention looks at the conversation around Loyce Nagawa, after she publicly shared her experience of an alleged sexual assault and the online commentary that followed. When someone shares something this sensitive, what responsibility do content creators have when questioning, critiquing or discussing their story? WELCOME TO THE FAMILY 💐 Bukky Asehinde, founder of TALES House London, for creating a permanent home just off Oxford Street showcasing African and diaspora fashion, art, homeware and lifestyle brands. 💐 The Montgomery Riverfront Brawl, three years on from the moment Black solidarity, a heroic swim and one folding chair entered the history books. 💐 The LOX, five years after absolutely bodying Dipset in one of the most memorable Verzuz battles ever. A special one for Aunty AK, who was also busy surviving Covid at the time! ENEMIES OF PROGRESS 🚩 The Jason Arday controversy, as the former Cambridge professor faces fresh scrutiny over his academic record and allegations of misconduct, which he denies, while Kehinde Andrews argues we're watching a smear campaign. 🚩 Ariana Grande's team... or is it us? As she steps away from public life citing relentless scrutiny, the Aunties ask where concern ends and invasive commentary begins. 🚩 Sacha Baron Cohen for deciding that 2026 is apparently the year we needed Ali G back. 🚩 Black British women?! After April Jackson claimed Black American women have been more supportive and welcoming to her than Black British women. Generalisation or uncomfortable conversation worth having? RUN TO THE COMMENTS 🏃🏾‍♀️ You lot had A LOT to say, so we're running straight back to the comments. This week we address being called out for talking over each other, our conversations about Black Americans and African identity, interracial dating, colourism, that viral Nigerian skin bleaching statistic and why people STILL think Black hair is public property.
