Black and Irish was set up in June 2020 with the aim of highlighting and celebrating the identity of Black Irish people by spreading awareness around the world of the experiences, struggles and successes of the Black Irish community.

Their mission is to engage with the wider Irish community. To come together, celebrate our black Irish community, and to make people aware by telling their stories.

They are using black history month to highlight the positive influences that black people. I was joined on the podcast by Femi, Pierre and Amanda. We spoke about their experiences growing up black and Irish and their reasons for becoming involved in the organisation.
