Is joy the greatest form of protest? This week we take you to the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement and speak to an incredible man who fills you with hope.
Yves Mathieu is a Burberry Model, Singer & Activist who has put his career on hold and raided his savings to travel the USA joining as many Black Lives Matter protests as he can. We hear about what it’s like on the front line (arrested about 10 times and counting...), why not enough is being done to protect black trans lives, plus he even finds time to tell us the heartwarming story of his work caring for senior citizens and we find out why he couldn’t sit down on a flight after his most recent tattoo…!!

We wrap up what has been a de-lightful Season 4 of Homo Sapiens with our final episode where we discuss LGBTQ+ people going back in the closet in older age, Queer solidarity on the football pitch, and straight people playing gay roles in cinema. Plus why did Cilla Black give Alan a ticking off?
We’d also like to say a huge thank you to all of you listeners for brightening our days with all your letters, messages and more throughout this entire season. We’ve loved it so much that.... We’re back straight away next week with new episodes! This time we’ll be talking to people who we think are the biggest Trailblazers on planet earth right now. It’s an amazing line up and we can’t wait for you to hear them all.
