With Manny Masih 16/05/2021

Featuring Mental Health Awareness Week, racism in the music industry and Bollywood news.

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week Manny Masih will be talking to a Black Minds Matter counsellor (from Swindon) about the disproportionate rates of mental illness within ethnic minority groups and the fear associated with accessing professional help.

A plaque to commemorate the life of Dr Bangara is being unveiled in Cinderford next week. We'll hear about how Dr Bangara, a South Indian doctor became an important figure in the Forest of Dean over one hundred years ago.

Little Mix may have just picked up a Brit Award this week but band member Leigh-Anne says that she's experienced racism in the music industry that has left her questioning her identity. Manny will speak to the producers of Leigh-Anne's new BBC documentary that explores her own very personal journey and the prejudices felt by many black women.

Plus, Manny's featured track and Bollywood news.
