098 - Four Reflections 💬
While we usually focus our weekly lists on experiencing the city, this week we’re specifically turning our attention to just some of the ways London has been experienced by our Black friends and neighbours.
And so, in their own words, here’s:
Serge and Nicole Kaniki on CBC Radio Morning discussing the reality of racism in London and how they’ve talked to their kids about it.
Team Compass’ “Coach Jay” Lawrence with three personal stories covering the importance of representation, the reality of privilege and new ways forward.
Councillor Mo Salih reminded council that London is not innocent and there is much work ahead if we hope to create a city where Black citizens can live free of fear and anxiety.
Minneapolis-raised, now London-based Saidat with a challenge to do what we can, right here, in our own community.
