#blacklivesmatter is on everyones mind at the moment

As a white woman i need to do more. It's not enough to say "I am not racist", i need to take action and be anti-racist. I have black friends, clients, leaders with I&C and people within my community. I want to tell them i can see and hear them by talking about it and educating people in any way that i can

I am not an expert by any means, far from it but we all have to start somewhere and stop putting it off or ignoring it because it makes us feel uncomfortable. This will bring up fears, worry, anxiety and every emotion you can think of but it needs to be done

In this episode I speak to Fay Smith to discuss what white people need to be educated on, the difficulties faced in black communities, how change will happen and what is going on in the world at the moment with the riots and coronavirus. Fay shares some stories with us and helps myself and others to make change

Please take some time to educate yourself as a white woman, keep talking and don't stop. What kind of world do you want to live in?
