In this episode, we hear the captivating story of where banter went too far for a gay, black  Metropolitan Police officer. 

Brace yourself as our special guest, Gamal Turawa, talks about being a Black police officer in the Met. The discussion is profound and thought-provoking. Gamal reveals such truths. The lengths he went to fit in with his peers. 

 Some of the extraordinary truths included statements such as:

  • "I sacrificed my colour, and I sacrificed my sexual orientation."
  • "I grew up in a time where I was ashamed to be black."
  • "Vulnerability is My Superpower."
  • "There is a space for dark humour. But it's how it's managed."
  • "Whatever you are going through, It's a chapter, not the whole book."
  • "You force banter underground, and then you get the WhatsApp groups."
