What does your bookshelf look like? Is it a towering stack of paperbacks you bought with the best intentions, or are you more of a digital reader with a Kindle full of interesting titles? One side of my house is pretty much completely covered in books, and while I’ve read a lot of them, a good chunk are there just waiting to be cracked open. And amongst those books are a lot on allyship and anti-racism, some of which were bought around the Black Lives Matter protests.

In this episode, I talk to Lucy Lucraft, a passionate podcast producer and former award-nominated journalist who helps creative women grow their own podcasts. Lucy is committed to amplifying voices that often go unheard, and as an intersectional feminist, she focuses on working with those who genuinely care about making a difference in the world.

We dig into the idea that simply buying or reading more books isn’t enough. What really matters is how we use that information to make real change in the lives and communities around us. Lucy shares her experience running an online business as a marginalised person and explores the need to deconstruct our thinking shaped by the patriarchy and white supremacy. We also discuss the significant damage caused by white feminism and its connections to broader societal issues.

This conversation is packed with thought-provoking questions and insights, leaving me, and hopefully you, with a greater understanding of how to move forward as an ally—beyond just adding another book to your shelf. So, brace yourself, get your notebook ready, and listen to Lucy get on her soapbox!
