Bene Briggs-McKinlay (BB)
Bene Briggs-McKinlay (BB) is a Nigerian-Scottish lawyer, editor, and political commentator with a strong focus on current affairs, Scottish politics, international politics, and issues affecting the African diaspora.
I have over six years of broadcasting experience at Jambo! Radio Scotland, where I host BB's African News Magazine Show. Through this platform, I explore political developments and socio-economic issues affecting Scotland's diverse communities, while highlighting positive achievements across the Scottish African and wider African diasporas.
I am very passionate about providing informed, balanced commentary that connects domestic political developments in Scotland with international events and their local implications. My work regularly examines themes such as representation, community engagement, social cohesion, and the intersection of global politics with Scottish public life.
In addition to her radio work, BB has contributed to television discussions as a political commentator, offering analysis of Scottish politics and international developments that influence the UK and Scotland. BB is committed to thoughtful, inclusive public discourse and brings a unique perspective shaped by her professional experience, media work, and engagement with diaspora communities.
