So here we are the final episode of season one! Inspired by Barack Obama I open up about what it's like to be an anti-racist educator, black woman, and soon-to-be author in unprecedented times like these.
I delve deep into the heaviness of reliving racist trauma and the triggering events from the past and the very recent, talk about how we can ALL instigate change in ourselves and others without resorting to dehumanising behaviour. And I share some deeply personal stories that came to me after watching Barack Obama giving the eulogy of activist John Lewis.
