The tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of the American police has turned all eyes of the world on the global pandemic which is racism.
This has been my most nerve wracking podcast episode yet.
With the world in complete turmoil and with everyone on edge, the possibility of saying the wrong thing in an already volatile situation almost forced me to postpone or cancel tackling this subject altogether.
After taking time to grieve for George Floyd and the ongoing issue of racism I felt like I had to use my voice, my white privilege and my platforms to play whatever part I can in helping to move towards a more tolerant and united world.
I decided to script this episode because of the information and the points I wanted to give. I wrote and rewrote the script 18 times to make it as impactful as I possibly could. It’s delivered more as a monologue and less of a discussion.
If ever there was an episode I would like you to listen to or watch then it would be this one.
As always I welcome your feedback and constructive conversation to anything I have said in this episode.
I would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of George Floyd and to the Black Lives Matter movement
