How should we navigate issues of race and identity in 2024?

Join Inaya Folarin Iman, Ayishat Akanbi, Patience Xina, and Ada Akpala as they reflect on key "racial" incidents that occurred in 2023 and discuss their predictions for the race discourse in 2024.

They discussed the incidents involving Ngozi Fulani and Lady Hussey, the "Peckham hair" scenario, media coverage of the Nottinghill Carnival, and the controversy surrounding Tyla not identifying as "black."

Reflecting on these incidents prompted discussions on the following:

Why asking someone where they are from is considered offensive.
Whether Asian people have monopolised the "black economy".
How race is perceived and treated differently in various countries.
Online discourse and criticisms faced by successful black individuals.
Violence in subsections of the "Black community."
The importance of having honest conversations about knife crime in London.

And much more.
