In today’s episode Elaine chats to the lovely Becki Clark. Becki posted a video on Facebook a few weeks ago about her experience as a mixed-race woman growing up in Scotland. The link to the video is below. Becki is compassionate, articulate and inspiring. Enjoy.

ABOUT BECKI CLARK

Becki Clark works in visitor attraction management. When she’s not rounding up crowds at the Zoo she can be found singing, (trying) to run or having heavy political debates over a glass of wine. Viral video completely unintentional but so glad that people are listening to their black friends struggles and doing the work necessary to end them.
