Yams & Yuca explores the fabric of Black identities through culture, food, art, life experiences and more; sharing the stories of international creatives. Co-hosts Heather Benson & Kamara Gray bring their unique perspectives as Black Global Citizens living and working in the UK and beyond. Close your eyes. Think about that signature dish that reminds you of home; you know the one that makes your eyes widen with excitement and fills your spirit from head to toe with just one bite. Mmmmmm…that feeling. This is a space for creatives to share similar ancestral memories that shape who they are.
We are joined with Micallar Walker, internationally renown marketer, event producer, audience development consultant, and Founder of Dark Matter Agency. We speak about building a community of authentic Black audiences, and the importance of centring and amplifying Black voices in film, cinema, publishing, and the Arts.
