In GBA 342 we get better acquainted with Banke. In a conversation recorded in an Eat at Liverpool Street Station she talks about living in lots of different parts of the world, true storytelling as a way to overcome fear of public speaking, following in her father and grandfather's footsteps and becoming a lawyer, being a middle class black woman from Nigeria living in London and so much more.\n\nBanke plugs:\n\nSpark True Stories: http://www.stories.co.uk\nSpark Brixton: 3rd Monday of the month (next one on 15th October)\nSanaakasuwa on Instagram: Bringing African Art to the West https://www.instagram.com/sanaakasuwa/\n\nI plug:\n\nMansplaining Masculinity: The Book https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/\n\nWhat About the Men?
