Is the idea of a "pure British lineage" nothing more than a myth? Join us for an eye-opening conversation as (in a release of an episode from 2022) I, Steph Edusei, am joined by Risaria Langley, and explore the complex layers of race and racism in the UK. Guided by Professor Ibram X. Kendi's Anti-racist deck, we share personal stories and insights rooted in our shared Geordie heritage from North East England. Risaria recalls a defining moment from her childhood, while I reflect on how Brexit has acted as a catalyst, revealing the entrenched racism within our society.
We tackle the contentious notion of British identity and its implications in today's multicultural landscape. What does it mean to be "indigenous British"? Through our own experiences, we highlight the fluidity of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, emphasizing the frustration of being questioned about one's origins. Our discussion underscores the vital role of recognizing and valuing the contributions of immigrants and their descendants, showing how personal relationships can break down superficial barriers and foster inclusivity.
Can saying "I don't see color" actually do more harm than good? We unpack this loaded phrase and its implications, arguing for the necessity of acknowledging racial and cultural differences to truly understand and appreciate each other. Through heartfelt anecdotes, we discuss why it's essential to recognise these differences and the discomfort caused when they are dismissed. Reflecting on Maya Angelou's wise words, "Do the best that you can until you know better and then, when you know better, do better," we stress the importance of continual growth and humility.
Don't miss this candid and thought-provoking dialogue—and tune in next week for part two.
