48. The conversation shouldn't stop ft Whitney Boateng
Meet Whitney Boateng, part of the team behind #TheShowMustBePausedUK on music's fight against racism. Whitney is live booker at Metropolis Music/Live Nation and spoke to Yellow Cup Podcast about June 2 when the global music business shut down for Black Out Tuesday, with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music labels among the companies declaring their support. She is part of a group of executives leading the campaign, which is running in conjunction with its US counterpart. Tobi Rachel and Whitney discuss black women in the industry, cancel culture, on calling brands to speak out and how hard it can be to differentiate between the performative and the caring? Should we be be pushing the likes of J Cole and Kendrick Lamar to speak out? Yellow Cup Podcast is a fun and honest lifestyle and magazine podcast hosted by journalist Tobi Rachel. You can expect conversations with no filter ranging from social media trends to current affairs. Each episode will see Tobi Rachel invite guests - who she likes to call co-hosts - to join her in conversation as they drink from their "yellow cup."
