S1 Ep13: Don't Give Up

She's back!
I have a VERY special episode with you today. Giving you a mini solo episode from me on the current state of play and this current "momentum" in anti racism work.
And introducing my very special guest. My Dad.
We talk about growing up as a black boy in London, my granddad and Windrush, weddings, sibling rivalry and what he REALLY thinks about me doing this work. As a highly skilled martial artist, we also talk about martial arts can teach us about discipline, self compassion and never giving up.
Enjoy.

S1 Ep15: Community, Reparations and Anti Blackness | Yazzie Min

This week I have the pleasure of talking to fellow activist, poet and founder of Stand For Humanity Yazzie Min. Yazzie and I connected online through our shared activism and have supported each other ever since.
We talk at length about community, reparations and anti-Blackness, whiteness, where community has gone in “Britishness” and how fierce love and kinship is the key to our survival. Yazzie and I are not mincing our words, so if you feel uncomfortable listening to this episode, I urge you to sit with your discomfort and lean all the way in.
This is a powerful, moving and joyful listen. I hope it motivates you to start/keep doing the work needed. There’s also a special treat from Yazzie at the end.
