What’s in a name? More than you might think. 👀

Your name. Your hair. Your accent. Your family. Your culture. The food you eat. The way people see you — and, more importantly, the way you see yourself.

In the very first episode of Unfiltered: Black Teen Voices UK, host Dr Terrence Isaacs sits down with four incredible young voices — Phoebe, Ruoeda, Temi and Gbenro — for a real, open and sometimes funny conversation about identity, Blackness and pride.

What happens when people struggle to pronounce your African name? Do you correct them, shorten it, laugh it off… or eventually stop trying?

And why can something as simple as a name have so much to do with identity?

The conversation goes much deeper — from growing up Black in the UK and navigating African heritage, to cultural expectations, belonging, stereotypes and learning to feel confident in who you are.

Because identity isn't just the box you tick on a form.

It’s your story. Your heritage. Your experiences. Your community. And your journey of discovering who you are.

This episode is honest, thoughtful and completely UNFILTERED.

🎧 Press play and join the conversation.

Would you change part of yourself just to fit in — or have you learned to own what makes you different?

Welcome to Unfiltered: Black Teen Voices UK — real voices, real experiences, no filter. 🎙️🔥

Spreading smiles, creating memories, and celebrating the joy of sharing and caring. Happiness is not just a nice-to-have — it is a must-have. It drives healthier homes, boosts productivity at work, sparks creativity, and strengthens connection and bonding.

At Afrikindness, we know that happiness at home isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s about creating a safe space where families feel valued, supported, and empowered.

We touched base with some of the parents who have benefited from the GIPSIL Ltd Asda vouchers. Every little helps — but it’s not just about the vouchers. Through our intervention programs, we’re also helping parents access the support their children need, making them feel seen, heard, and uplifted. 

When parents feel empowered, they can nurture and raise thriving children, building happier and healthier homes. Hear from our parents on what happiness means to them.
