Hello friends,
This week on the OneTrackMinds podcast, we feature two stories about the life-changing impact of songs by iconic black artists.
Our first guest is the human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell. Born in Australia, Peter’s incredible, selfless and tireless work has made him a veritable national treasure here in the UK, and his portrait now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
After the break, we hear from poet and author Vanessa Kisuule. A multi-time poetry slam winner, Vanessa is a former Bristol City Poet, Glastonbury Poet in Residence and TEDx Speaker. You can find out more about her work by visiting her website. https://www.vanessakisuule.com
Unfortunately, due to rights reasons, we can’t play our storytellers’ chosen songs in the podcast, but you can listen to them by following these links:
To Be Young, Gifted and Black by Nina Simone

The OneTrackMinds Podcast is presented by Adam Shakinovsky and Kristian Brodie, and produced by Haresh Patel for VERYFINE Ltd.
Thanks for listening - we’ll be back again next week with more stories about life-changing songs.
