Cambridge Uni鈥檚 youngest black professor
Jason Arday, Cambridge鈥檚 youngest black professor, on autism and achieving your dreams.
After his first week on the job, Cambridge University鈥檚 youngest black professor, Jason Arday, drops in for a chat with De-Graft. Jason couldn鈥檛 speak until he was 11 or read and write until he was 18 due to having global development delay and being autistic. Now he鈥檚 37, has a lot to say, and is achieving his dreams.
Also, you might have heard a lot about the 成人快手, Gary Lineker鈥檚 tweet and migration. But, what are the government鈥檚 proposed laws on tackling illegal migration and why are some people, like Gary Lineker, criticising it? De-Graft breaks this down with the help of the Ione Wells, the 成人快手鈥檚 political correspondent.
And rapper Che Lingo is in the building! Che is signed to Idris Elba鈥檚 label and his music has featured in Top Boy. De-Graft and Che share some laughs whilst discussing his upcoming album which addresses some tough topics.
