Description

In this episode, Sophie is joined by the talented restaurant critic, writer, and Good Food Guide columnist, Jimi Famurewa.


Jimi and Sophie share a unique connection, having both attended the same secondary school in the suburbs, and together they dive into their experiences.


The conversation delves into a powerful topic from Jimi's book Settlers, where he addresses the pressures Black African families face to perform academically and how systemic biases and structural barriers can impact a child's sense of autonomy.


Additionally, Jimi introduces his new book Picky , a deep exploration of identity and eating.
