Eulanda Osagiede - Travel and #BLM Artwork

What Happens Now?

Mike Oldham lost his brand new job as an Event Director right at the start of the coronavirus crisis.⁣⁣It lasted less than a day! Despite the obvious challenges that threw up for him and his family, he was determined to turn it into a positive. He decided to start this podcast from his home in SW London, creating a series of interviews in order to share stories of how the crisis was affecting other people - personally and professionally - and how they were coping as the whole world went into lockdown.⁣ ⁣Most importantly, he wanted to focus on the ways in which his guests each plan to emerge from this crisis in a positive way. ⁣⁣If you would like to support the podcast you can do so here (25% of donations go to NHS Charities Together): https://www.gofundme.com/what-happens-now-podcast

Eulanda Osagiede - Travel and #BLM

June 19, 2020 • Mike Oldham • Season 1 • Episode 9

With many borders shut and thousands of planes grounded, international travel has come sliding to a halt over the past couple of months.

Eulanda Osagiede is a travel writer, photographer and co-founder of travel and lifestyle website Hey, Dip Your Toes In and in this episode she joins me to discuss how the travel industry has been impacted, and how people like her and her husband Omo who rely on it functioning are adapting to the changes.

Eulanda and Omo engage in and discuss all kinds of cultural interactions on the HDYTI blog and have written extensively about the Black Lives Matter movement and especially how they feel people can be allies to black people at this time. So we also took some time to talk about the #BLM movement and why it's so important that the travel industry - and wider society as a whole - confronts its prejudices.
