Liv Little joins De-Graft and talks about her journey and transition from gal-dem founder to author. Her debut novel, Rosewater, has just been released. It’s a love story about all kinds of love.

There was a fuss online and in the media after it was announced that new play Tambo & Bones would hold a performance specifically for black audiences “free from the white gaze”. We’re joined by the show’s director, Matthew Xia, who tells De-Graft about the importance of creating safe spaces for black people.

And Jords is in the building! As well as co-founding a free school uniform initiative for kids on free school meals, he’s just dropped his long-awaited debut album, Dirt In The Diamond.
