How to get a job with Shay Loko (27/03/2026)

Kamilah McInnis

Available for 26 days

Kamilah McInnis sits down with career coach and fellow Sussex University alumni Shay Loko, as youth unemployment reaches its highest level in more than a decade. Shay shares practical tips for jobseekers. Kamilah also meets Oscar Miyanda, who's a new first-round judge for the BBC Make A Difference Awards in Sussex and Surrey. He reflects on going from award finalist to judge, and on his work supporting young people through sport, music and radio. Plus, Carolynn Bain from Brighton's Afrori Books joins Kamilah for Black Ink, our monthly book club. They've been reading People Person by Candice Carty-Williams and reveal what's next on the list. And hear from DJ and music curator Afrocat, fresh from launching her new compilation in Hove. Lost Tracks: Accra to Addis is a hand-picked selection of vintage East and West African music. Join Kamilah McInnis every Friday from 7pm-10pm for great music, good vibes and conversations from our African and Caribbean communities.
