White Allies is an initiative set up by Josephine Namusisi-Riley for white people to reflect on their own experiences witnessing racism and benefitting from their privilege. White people were able to submit their stories anonymously. We believe stories are powerful communication tools that we can all empathise and connect with. We hope these stories stick with our readers and that they are can use their knowledge to identify microaggressions and challenge racism in the future.
"You are arguably contributing to the problem by not coming forward" White Allies: Episode 4
Stories - White Allies (https://whiteallies.org/stories)
This episode we meet Inspector David Laurie who has been in the MET for 20 years. We talk about the structures in place to prevent racism, how he is seeing positive change in the younger generation, his own experience with BLM protests and the importance of reporting wrongdoing. This episode marks the 1 year anniversary of whitealliesuk and 2 years since George Floyd’s death. We want to thank our allies for supporting us on this journey and we hope you enjoy the podcast.
