In this episode of The Wrap Room, we’re joined by journalist and debut author Taylor-Dior Rumble — a storyteller redefining how Black British womanhood is represented in both the newsroom and the world of fiction.

Taylor takes us through her journey from Southeast London to the BBC newsroom at just 18, and now to her literary debut with The Situationship, a raw, relatable novel exploring love, heartbreak, and the messy in-between. We talk about the pressures of being a young Black woman in media, how she protects her voice when covering heavy topics, and what inspired her to write a novel that doesn’t fit neatly into any box — just like real life.
