Intro: 

Wow, we sit here at Jabulani, a coffee shop that seems a lot more than just that, and we meet to interview you in such a cool space. Thank you for getting us out of the school building and spending time with us today. We have loved working with you Tania. We have collaborated on many projects. Our Diversity Newsletter and of course Black History Month. We have met so many new people because of our partnership. We can't thank you enough. You definitely make our school better. So, now, let's start the interview. How are you today and what is on your mind?

 

Q1: We understand that you work for Diversity Business Incubator - otherwise known as D.B.I,. That is a fancy name. It matches your cool style. But, what  does D.B.I. Do everyday and how does it help us in Plymouth?

 

Q2: We hear that you like music and dancing. Is this true and what songs should we play when we listen to this back?

 

Q3: Some of our staff have been cooking with your talented and lovely Chef Sister, Jessie. Others have tried out the food that your family are so passionate about. How is it that you have such a talented family? You are all so inspiring to us. 

 

Q4: We have done a bit of research and have found out that you have lived in Cameroon. Could you tell us more about your journey to and fro the UK and what you have learnt about community, and what's important in life?

 

Q5: Mr. Sammels tells us that when he works in different schools and meets new people, he gets a stronger sense of his own values. Other podcast guests have said a similar thing. At school, we learn about the Fundamental British Values. Do your values influence your decisions every day at D.B.I. and if so, how?

 

Q6: You once lived in Cameroon. We have never been there. What is it like?

From your experience of living in two different countries, what would you say makes them similar but also different - and can you speak fluent French - because we learn French at school. Bonjour Tania!

 

Q7: If you could change one thing about immigration - what would it be and why?

 

Q8: We understand that you moved to Plymouth later in your childhood. We know that you went to Secondary School here. How was that experience for you? Was it all good or were there things that were difficult? 

 

Q9: Something that is amazing and true about our school is that we work with all families to celebrate cultures and special differences. What top tips do you have to celebrate differences in people, and what could we do to better educate ourselves on things like racism and other types of concerns - what else can schools do to make this world a kinder place?

 

Q10: We would love you to come and work at our school more. You have introduced us to the most talented and lovely people, such as, Ella, Azza, Lilian, Jessie, John, the colourful and kind Bridget and the main boos man, Jabo. This is an incredible team. What sort of new projects do you think we could get off the ground together? Ones that make this world a better place?

 

Q11: Who are your inspirations in life, and how have they shaped who you are and your sense of what can be achieved - as Tania Nana?

 

Outro:

Tania,, this is sadly the end to our podcast today. We have really enjoyed visiting you here at Jabulani. It seems an important trip to make. People back at school might not know it here and may now feel interested to pop down and meet people from many cultures, get support, try new food and link on ideas.  We can't thank you enough for inviting us down. We love what you do and you brighten up our day when we see you. You are kind and very talented. Super cool too! Thank you from all of us at Mayflower for making our school (and our Plymouth) even better. Come work with us again soon, and remember, Together we can...
