  • S1 E17. Healthcare and the black community
    2021/02/27

    The UK has a world class National Health Service but is it fit for purpose for everyone? 
     
    Considering black people have served on the front line of the NHS in large numbers for over 6 decades, what are the origins of the mistrust in our NHS?

    Almost too much to cover. Not almost, it was........ more to come

  • S1 E16. How can we create a better more equal society for all?
    2021/02/03

    What does a more equal society look like  - can we envisage it ?
    Would we know when we have an equal society - how will we know ?

    These and more questions are discussed and debated with a diverse panel from different backgrounds and with differing points of view. Making for a very engaging listen.  

    You can expect a very open, candid and passionate debate throughout in a search for common ground and agreed solutions to address the issues supporting inequality and segregation.

  • S1 E14. BLM and the Identity of mixed race UK
    2021/01/29

    As a mixed race person in the UK, how does it feel to be part of the conversation, on both sides ? 
    It is something that many of us will not have to consider or have to be aware of - “Based on my dual heritage what should i be doing or thinking and how much of an influence is my family or families on my BLM point of view”

  • S1 E13. What does Black Lives Matter mean to you? - (mixed race panel)
    2021/01/10

    Ordinary People has put together a panel of mixed race individuals and asked them to discuss, "What impact has the BLM movement had on your views about life as a mixed race person in Britain"

    What we get is something far more revealing in terms of participation, identity, colourism, introspection to a degree that no other ethnic group have to go. If you have never wondered what it might be like to be in the middle and asked to choose a side !!   Then you need to listen to this piece of education.

  • S1 E15. Racism - What is it?
    2020/12/18

    Racism can be most simply understood as someone behaving differently towards another person based on the colour of their skin or culture. But are there other definitions or degrees of Racism.
    In this episode we ask the question to our guests who have differing life experiences or come from different communities. The result is an interesting spectrum of views, some not shared or appreciated but undeniably heartfelt.

  • S1 E10. ‘The Strong Black Woman’ - De-mystifying the Myth.
    2020/11/29

    Take a  journey into he realm of the Black Woman.  Listen to 4 black women tell you what it has been like to be a black woman in British society.  

    At one time or another we have all either said or thought that black women are the backbone and strength within the black community. That may well be true but what are the effects of heaping so much expectation, responsibility and obligation on them as individuals and equals.

    Have society and black men in the main abdicated their own responsibility based on “The Myth of the Strong Black Woman” ?
