Bonnets and Bedtime - episode 1

with Ayanna, Jenesis, and Izuchi

Playing Tuesdays at 3pm and on rotation all week.

Bonnets and Bedtime is a podcast aimed at young females to promote happiness and inspire young girls, so grab your bonnets and let's get into it!

This podcast was recorded 24th-28th October 2022, as part of Black History Month, organized by Adanna Women’s Support Group for their annual holiday club for young people. The club aims to build the confidence of each child to be able to develop life skills and carry out life tasks on their own.

Adanna Women’s Support Group is a grassroots community group which was established in 2008. We aim to alleviate poverty in women and children through education, business enterprise and support for the benefit of mainly (but not exclusively) BAME women, women from immigrant communities and young parents living within the East London area of barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Newham and Walthamstow. We also provide an educational summer school for the children and financial education for disadvantaged communities to enable them to alleviate poverty and participate more in society.

Recorded and edited by Sebastian Caliste
