Fish out of water: Facing Racism as a Learner
WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS TRIGGERING CONTENT REGARDING RACISM AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
Education is the key to success no? How do people of colour attain that success when the education system is compromised by racism, not only institutional but teacher and learners actively bullying and abusing students of colour because they are not white. On the other hand "good schools are the white schools" right. Well in this episode we discuss all of this with a guest who has experienced explicit racism in school in their formative years, she goes on to share the deep seeded scares this has caused. Inform yourself and others and remember that silence is violence.
