Leading the change when it comes to racism in sport

"If someone's doing it, I'm the first to go, they're doing it. Support what they're doing. But there was a space that was completely empty and open. I just thought, it feels like a good idea and it feels like we should be doing something. - Leon Mann

(Want to read a full written for reading transcript version of this episode? Download it here.)

Leon is a highly experienced content producer with a background in the media production industry.

He's a skilled screenwriter and film producer.

He's a highly influential character when it comes to the campaign to erase racism in sport, and has been regarded as an influencer in that space.

He's also an esteemed voice in the newspaper of the same name.

Rodney Hinds from The Voice newspaper played a huge part in Leon's campaign against whitewashing in football.

In this episode, Leon explains how the idea of the Football 'Blacklist' came to be.

You'll be absolutely blown away when you learn how much of UK Premier League football owes its existence to the black community (and when you learn how little it's represented at board level!)

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of a conversation we have for you this week.

You'll learn about how Leon uses leadership in his wider campaign of telling stories through his filmmaking.

Our society still has much to achieve when it comes to eradicating institutional racism...

"You have to be professional to be able to do a good job for your clients. It's no good to my client if I am unable to do a good job because I'm so vexed, I've taken my off the ball.

That's not to say I, I can't be vexed. - Terence Channer.

(Want to read a full written for reading transcript version of this episode? Download it here.)

Terence is a lawyer who specialises in actions against the police.

He's a senior solicitor at Scott-Moncrieff & Associates.

He's also a columnist for the newspaper "The Voice".

It seems that there's still a lot of work to do to eradicate racism within the British police force.

Terence has first hand experience through his clients of some of the problematic powers they're in possession of when it comes to individuals on the street.

Clearly, the world as a whole was massively impacted by cases like the George Floyd incident in America.

Yet, there are echoes of that same racist energy in the UK, and Terence is very intentional with his drive to shine a light on them.

In this episode of the Everyday Leadership podcast, Terence shares some of these stories, and explains how he came to grow into his impactful role in bridging the gap between the police and the individuals he vows to protect.

And he doesn't hold back when it comes to holding the problematic police force to account on this still very troubling issue of some elements of the British police and their attitudes to stop and search.
