In today’s episode, in recognition of Africa Week, we highlight the United Nations designated International Decade for People of African Descent. The decade runs from 2015-2024. The theme of the Decade is: “People of African descent: recognition, justice and development.” 

We would like to raise the volume on this so that it gets the recognition and buy-in that it should within our community and beyond.

We welcome guests: Dr. Livingstone Thompson – a theologian, lecturer and cultural competency consultant of Jamaican descent who is the current Chair of the African & Caribbean Support Organisation Northern Ireland (ACSONI) and Ms. Lori Gatsi-Barnett- originally from Zimbabwe who is an entrepreneur, co-founder of Join Her Network and Chair of the Strategy Group at ACSONI.

Together, we speak on the need to amplify this decade. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
