Ep9. Maame Blue: 'Bad Love' and the relationships that form us

Today's episode features author Maame Blue. Her novel, 'Bad Love', was published last year Jacaranda Books’ #TwentyIn2020 authors and has recently been awarded a Betty Trask Award. Chatting to Maame was both hilarious and affirming, and we spoke about the trials and tribulations of working out who you are in your twenties, feeling and expressing yourself through other people's art, and the the importance of friends who know your worth maybe more than you do. I am so grateful that Maame took the time to speak to me: it was so much fun and I hope you come away from this episode feeling as warm and fulfilled as I did after our conversation.Click for Maame's 'Bad Love' Spotify PlaylistThank you to Ally and Helena Shilson for their lovely music, and Sophie Kamlish for the best designs ever Hosted on Acast.

Hello, I am Lucy Hicks Beach, and I want to find out how people of marginalised genders have shaped the people we are and the world we live in. To do this, I am talking to some of the most interesting people around about the women and non-binary people who have shaped them. Each guest picks an influential figure from one of five categories: Someone they know personally, someone they've never met, someone who is no longer alive, a childhood or teenage icon and a fictional character. Ally and Helena Shilson have composed the celestial tunes throughout!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
