#BlackLivesMatter, Understanding White Privilege, Actions & Allies | ETHNICALLY SPEAKING 1

Join Anissa, Linda E, Luanda Yasmin and Sophie Hannah for a very special first episode of [ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING, dedicated to discussing the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

00:00 Intro
01:33 How important is it that the community, especially those with influence, makes public statements or posts of support on social media?
18:40 Statements of support are great but what actions are we, and should we be taking as a black community to cause real systemic change?
35:02 Some people, influencers, brands and companies from outside the black community have been “showing” their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, but how much of this is true allyship vs PR spin?
51:22 Many of us are being approached by friends, family members and colleagues from outside the black community who want to help but are unsure what to say or do. How can they become true allies?
