Sociology, Storytelling & a whole lot of Chaos. Hosted by Sociologist and "Frizz and Go" founder, Sylvie. Back That Book Up goes beyond the plot. Sylvie chops it up with authors to unpack the politics, social issues, and messy human dynamics in their latest novels. Expect a space where political conversations happen naturally, tea is spilt generously, and we air our humorous grievances about characters we love (and hate). Who is this for? All are welcome... Especially if you'd bring a book to a party if it fit in your bag. You are my kind of person.

    Second Chances, Cultural "Wahala" & Race: The Second Time We Met

    Can you ever really go back? Sociologist Sylvie sits down with the author of The Second Time We Met to discuss navigating family drama, romance, and starting over. Yaggayoo! In the Season 1 finale, I am joined by Frances Mensah-Williams. We dive into her novel about second chances and the cultural "Wahala" that comes with family expectations. We explore the nuances of interracial relationships, the pressure of "keeping up appearances" within the community, and whether love can truly survive a checkered past.

    The Dark Side of Influencers & Deep Fakes: Every Smile You Fake

    Dorothy Koomson is a British jewel (and I’m not talking about the stolen ones). With a career spanning over two decades and 19 books, the "Queen of the Big Reveal" joins Sociologist Sylvie to dissect the terrifying world of Every Smile You Fake. Yaggayoo! We aren't just talking about a thriller; we are unpacking the ethics of "Mum-fluencers," the dangers of deep fakes, and the psychological toll of living our lives online. We discuss the reality of "Sharenting" (sharing your children’s lives for content) and why you might recognise a certain character in this book more than you think.
