MME Matters Maurice Macartney

Throughout this series we have looked at some of the challenges faced by people of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds in Northern Ireland, and at the energy, talent and determination of the people rising to meet and overcome them.
In the fifth and final programme in the series we hear from a footballer and entrepreneur (Leo Brown), a business advisor (Tunde Adeosun), and a poet and teacher (Nandi Jola) about how we might open up new spaces of possibility as we look to the future. Many thanks to all our contributors throughout the series.
