We were delighted to sit down with Andrez Harriott, member of popular boy band, Damage as well as a qualified criminologist and founder of The Liminality Group which works with young people and young adults within BAME communities hear in the UK.
Given the sad news in relation to the horrific treatment of George Floyd in Minnesota, USA which resulted in his tragic death, Andrez gave us his thoughts as well as shared his own experiences of growing up as a young black man during the 1980's and beyond.
Some of the topics we discussed are quite harrowing, but as Andrez rightfully said it is important that we are able to create safe spaces where we can talk and open up discussion to help us move forward as a equal and kind society.
