Life in Black & White (and all the shades in between)

I don't mean to sound racist, but... with Adeyemi Oke

Life in Black & White (and all the shades in between)

Show Notes

Today, we are excited to have Adeyemi Oke, author of 'I don't mean to sound racist, but...' on the show.

Following the 2018 Premier League football race storm, there was a rhetoric that racism had ended in the eighties, and was now ‘rearing its ugly head’. After having many conversations in focus groups, online, and with friends explaining that racism never went away, Adeyemi decided to take action. As the saying goes, ‘Be the change you want to see’.

Join us for this candid, thought-provoking, and (as always ;) ) humor-filled conversation as we explore the complexities of racism in modern society.

If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the WORLD to us if you could leave an honest review.

Thanks so much!

Love, Ivana & Yaw
