1.2 My voice is valid: Exposure, Racism in today's society

06/04/20 • 70 min

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
