Queenie

In this weeks episode Chiku and Senzeni discuss Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams. Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places. Including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth. We explore various themes such as Self Esteem, Abuse, Online and so much more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get involved! - Rate and review us on iTunes, Speaker, Spotify, Soundcloud ! - Follow and message us on: Instagram - @whni_ Email - [email protected] Music: Nina Simone: To Be Free Main Music: Ben Sounds: All That Outro Music: Wonton Soup by Audiobinger
