Shari Sebbens is a Sapphire, a Marvel Comics character and director of the Australian debut of Seven methods of killing Kylie Jenner, an award-winning play about Twitter, racism, and the hot mess of life online and irl. Shari talks to BW about how this Black British work resonates in the Australian context, digital blackface and more.
Season 13 of Master Chef has us ugly crying into our congee and renewing our faith in humanity; BW + BL ponder what milkshakes can’t teach us about consent; and finally, a debrief on what happened in the week since BW’s column on Bluey was published.
To paraphrase Master Chef judge Melissa Leong — we invite you to listen.
