👑 Calista and Gem’s adventure through the wonderful world of modern womanhood continues with this special bonus episode, ‘Broken Silence’ - Beyond Borders with Bumi Thomas

We come off the Empress track temporarily for this special episode dedicated to the sensational artist Bumi Thomas. Bumi recently released her stunning new EP, ‘Broken Silence’ and we are so delighted to talk to her about her sublime music and fascinating life. We also talk about belonging with dreams for a brighter world and equality for all. 🖤

In 2019 Bumi was told she faced deportation despite being born in the UK. You can learn more about Bumi’s case against the Home Office in this BBC piece:
