This is In Polite Company, the podcast where we discuss the topics that interest us, and that directly affect us - as Black LGBTQ+ people navigating the world of work. Expect tangents, rants, laughter, and occasional tears as we dissect some of the most pressing social issues of the moment, and talk about actions we can all take to make our communities more inclusive.
In this episode, we’re embracing a bold approach to change—looking at what we want to bring into our lives and what we’re ready to leave behind. It’s all about clearing the clutter, both mentally and physically, and making space for what truly matters. We share the things we’re inviting in this year—better time management, improved mental health, and a more intentional balance between work, family, and self-care—and the things we’re letting go of, like perfectionism and draining environments.
As we reflect on the challenges we’ve faced over the past year, we open up about the toll of stretching ourselves too thin and how we’re working to break free from those limits.
By the end of this episode, we hope our reflections and goals inspire you to make space for your own growth and set your own intentions for the year ahead.

America Has a Problem
How do you cope when politics feels like a never-ending source of fear and division? In this episode, we are joined by our friend from across the pond, Arda, and dive into the emotional aftermath of Trump’s recent victory, reflecting on the toll it takes on marginalised communities.
Our conversation blends raw honesty and humour as we share the personal and societal anxieties triggered by the election. Exploring the fractured left, the power of misinformation, and the need for leaders to create safe spaces for these difficult conversations.
With a focus on activism, Arda urges a shift from national politics to local, grassroots action that fosters real change. Amid the chaos, we shine a spotlight on the importance of mental health, self-care, and solidarity in creating hope for the future.
