Description

In this episode, Nora talks to Matilda Ibini. Matilda is a Nigerian Londoner and an award-winning bionic, Queer playwright and screenwriter with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. Their work often centres women, disabled people, Queer people and the Black British experience seen through a magical realist lens.

Today we talk about their work as a playwright and screenwriter, what it was like to grow up with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, the 90s and finding Black role models in girl bands, the Sugababes, Matilda's creative process and their play on BBC Sounds, Little Miss Burden.
