British journalist and author Reni Eddo-Lodge stopped by for a Facebook live event at RN with Beverley Wang, and here's their conversation.

Reni's the author of Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race, which ironically has led her to talk to a lot of white people about race.

She took your questions from Facebook and a few from Beverley too.

'Diversity' has become a popular talking point across all sectors of work, and diversity panels are regular fixtures of conferences, festivals and corporate events.

But once the talk is done, and the warm, self-satisfied glow of attending has worn off — where does the hard work begin?

For its season two finale, It's Not A Race teamed up with Audiocraft to present 'the diversity panel to end all diversity panels' with all-star guests Paola Balla, Santilla Chingaipe and Benjamin Law, live onstage with Beverley Wang, for a conversation about the double-edged sword of standing in for 'diversity' and where they would like to see the conversation progress.

Also featuring a musical performance by Yeo.
