Outsider Sisters

Available for over a year

'I remember a girl calling me a black pig...' - Kat Francois. Through poetry, music, sounds and interviews, producer Chantal Herbert brings to life the emotions and experiences of women and non-binary persons of colour who grew up or migrated to the UK. With powerful spoken word, stories and real-life accounts of racism, Outsider Sisters gives you an uncomfortable snapshot into the everyday shared life experience of many people of colour living on this small island. New Storytellers presents the work of new radio and audio producers, and this series features the five winners of the 2021 Charles Parker Prize for the Best Student Radio Feature. Outsider Sisters was produced by Chantal Herbert, who graduated from the University of Sunderland's MA Radio course last year. The competition judges praised the feature’s 'skilled and creative use of the medium and vivid contributions … It had a great flow and groove ... A lovely piece.’ Producer: Chantal Herbert A Soundscape production for BBC Radio 4
