Emma Dabiri is a broadcaster, historian, and bestselling author. Her work explores identity, culture, and race through various mediums, including art and current affairs.
Her Channel 4 documentary, Hair Power: Me and My Afro, examines the significance of hair in the black experience and won a Cannes Lion Silver award. She has presented several series, including Britain's Lost Masterpieces for BBC4 and Back in Time for Brixton for BBC2. Emma has participated in debates on Unapologetic, Question Time, and Have I Got News For You.
Her latest book, Disobedient Bodies: Reclaim Your Unruly Beauty, offers alternatives to conventional beauty standards. In April 2021, she released What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition, quickly becoming a Times and Sunday Times bestseller. This book critiques mainstream discussions on anti-racism and follows her debut work, Don't Touch My Hair, which was an Irish Times Bestseller.
