About this listen
The incredible Rakie Ayola joins us on our imaginary verandah. Rakie is a BAFTA-winning actor, producer, and founder of Shanty Productions.
Rakie shares stories from her remarkable career, including what it’s really like working with Jeff Goldblum. She also confesses how she might just be the best—and worst—neighbour you could ask for!
She discusses the challenges and complexities she faces as a celebrated black actress, including her feelings about having to audition despite winning multiple BAFTAs.
Rakie opens up about juggling theatre, hospitals, and home life during her daughter’s neurofibromatosis type 1 diagnosis—and how her husband Adam helped her through it all.
It’s heartfelt, honest, and full of Rakie’s signature warmth and humour.
