British Airways Official Podcast

Tune in as our podcasters Molly and Caroline talk Black History Month (BHM) with Carol Llewellyn and Kurt Morlese from BA’s Being of a Minority Ethnicity (BeME) network.

As BHM celebrates its 35th year, Kurt and Carol talk about their own heritage, why Black History Month matters and what we can do to make a change. Kurt also tells us why educating the younger generation is vital, what Notting Hill Carnival is really about and how he celebrates with his own family.

Meanwhile, Carol reveals the reaction she sometimes receives to her Welsh surname, why Black History should be celebrated all year round and expresses her vision for diversity in the future.
