UK Election: Corbyn's revolution and the racist, sexist attacks on Diane Abbott

Just a few days after the UK General Election held on 8th June, we sing, laugh and punch the air about Jeremy Corbyn and The Labour Party. It was a defeat, but a bloody glorious one. Constructive ranting on what it has changed in UK politics (a lot). Also a focus on what the treatment of Diane Abbott, the first black woman elected to the UK parliament 30 years ago, says about racism and sexism in the UK today. Since we recorded, a few things have come to light. According to YouGov, a polling company that accurately predicted a hung parliament, youth turnout was 44% in 2015 but rose to 59% this time around, something largely attributed to Corbyn. It also shows how deep the generational divide in the UK is right now: https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/06/13/how-britain-voted-2017-general-election/ Also here's the Stromzy X Corbyn video Emmanuel was laughing about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vow3kokvdng Lastly here's an article from DIane Abbott, addressing the racism and sexism she's faced this year: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/14/racism-misogyny-politics-online-abuse-minorities

Can feminists listen to trap?

Everyone is finally together again. Yay! ^.^ In this episode we are chatting about, randomly, Braveheart (it's a film, google it), how we deal with the guilt when listening to trap and Rita claiming that we all want to be objectified (in some settings). Homework: Can you be a feminist and still listen to trap music? What song makes you feel conflicted/guilty/disgusted to listen to? Tweet us @GettingTherePod

Black and got mental health issues? Just walk it off...

With the exception of celebrities or public figures who experience mental trauma mental health is rarely discussed in the Black community. But why? Especially considering that evidence proves Black people are disproportionately more likely to experience circumstances that increase the chances of having a mental illness or challenge. Listen as the Getting There Gang deconstruct this enigma and open up about their own experiences with mental health. Don't forget to do your homework! Tell us why you think mental health is overlooked in the Black community or (if you feel comfortable) share your experiences with mental health with us.
