Forward the Hamlet

Ben, Danny and Hugo round up the key themes from season 1.

Called out by teachers at school for wearing her hair naturally, being told she's 'pretty for a black girl' at university, hustling hard in the workplace for equal opportunities for everyone. Michaella's experiences are eye-opening, and they're inspiring. If you believe in and want to fight for equality, there is plenty here to consider and apply to your daily life right away.

From leaving north London for the sleepy Somerset town of Yeovil, to spending a pre-season in India meditating for 11 hours a day and representing Jamaica in between, Nathan Smith's football career is more colourful than most. In this episode the Dulwich Hamlet defender joins us to discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, how black and white people use language when talking about race, and why - through it all - we need to remember that people are inherently good, decent human beings.

"When you book a holiday, I bet you don’t have to research the levels of racism in that country before you book?" In part two of our chat with Danny Mills, he tells us how being black has affected how he lives his life, and the decisions he makes.

A new direction and a new purpose. Over coming weeks, Ben and Hugo will be joined by Dulwich Hamlet striker and youth team coach Danny Mills to speak to current and past Hamlet players about their lived experiences as black people in London.

Hugo and Ben are back for the final time this decade, with their Dulwich Hamlet team of the decade. Who made the cut? Who’s been ruthlessly left out? Who’s been accidentally, innocently, totally forgotten? Sit back and find out.
