Eloping with the Truth

As our knowledge is largely defined by exposure and our podcast is about sharing different peoples lived experiences. We felt as though it was vital to discuss how both culture and race effects us given the current status quo.
This episode is a discussion with Olamide.
Olamide is a co-founder of the campaign @ICFreeuk which aims to change the way that the criminal justice system and education system negatively affects Black and Brown youth.

"We are also telling you that as long as you send all children out into the world to be actively educated into racism, taught a white supremacist version of history, literature and art, then you are setting up a future generation to perpetuate the same violence on which that system of power depends. We are telling you that we need to dismantle, not to de-escalate." Afua Hirsch

Happy New Year! Joyce and I have been thinking a lot about how to improve ourselves and this podcast to kick-start the new year. So even though I'm sure we would all like to move on swiftly from the train wreck of 2020, we thought we'd take some time to reflect on the challenges we faced, how we overcame them (or just coped), and how we and the world around us have changed as a result. 

At the beginning, we will also be mentioning the new episode structure and schedule for 2021.
