Being a Black Student at Oxford University emphasises the importance of inclusion within Oxford University.  Myself and my new friend, Kofo Braithwaite discuss his own experiences of his time at Oxford University as well as how his encounters have differed compared other black students due to differing social classes. Kofo and I discuss in detail the dominance the racial hierarchy has within this highly recognised and respected institution as well as the effects it has on POC at Oxford.

Me and Dr. Patrice Berry talk about the distinct racial differences as to why black people believe they will be treated differently compared to their white counterparts.  We also talk about how mental health and racism interlink.

Is Love Island Racist focuses on the underlying racism the popular television show, Love Island has towards darker skinned women. The episode provides illustrations which demonstrate the clear, blatant colourism within the show which has also been deemed as a reflection towards everyday, modern society. For this episode, I am joined by my new friend, Hudda Jimalle who provides her perspective on how problematic Love Island can be within modern society whilst communicating how this makes her feel as a black woman.

Racial Fetishisation considers the ways in which individuals are mistreated and disregarded because of their race. It entails a deep and fundamental conversation between myself and my good friend, Isha Turner. Within this conversation, me and Isha compare and contrast our differences with being victims of racial fetishisation. I hope this discussion teaches you all something new and important about less discussed, recognised forms of racism.

The Winning Side is about being equal. It's about embracing our differences, treasuring what makes us unique. It's about not placing a barrier if you're seen as different. This is teaching those seen as a minority that they are on The Winning Side. My name is Jord Hailwood and I hope you enjoy listening.
