44 min - Tomiwa Owolade: Anti-racism won't save us?! Now what?
In this episode, we are joined by Tomiwa Owolade: a writer, critic and contributing editor to UnHerd, with columns and reviews for the Sunday Times and the Financial Times. On our quest to understand how non-profit organisations tackle racism, diversity and inclusion issues, combined with Lauren's lifelong journey to be a better white person, we discovered Tomiwa's article titled "Anti-racism won't save you".
Together we take this one step further; if anti-racism won't save us, now what!?
