Songs To Live By is a podcast celebrating different generations of Black culture through the shared love of music. Host Vick Hope is joined by two guests, who grew up at different times, to share the songs that shaped their lives. Each guest brings two songs and each episode is a journey into their lives, our history and some great music - new and old.

In this episode Vick is joined by Khadijah Mellah, the first hijab-wearing jockey to ride in a competitive British horse race - not only that, despite being new to horse-racing, she won the Magnolia Cup at Goodwood on her mount Haverland, and Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a political writer, and diversity and women's rights activist.
Faith is important in both their lives and their songs include an Islamic nasheed and contemporary gospel, as well as buttery smooth R&B and some uptown tempo Motown Philly.
