    Ep. 02 "It is the responsibility of Black families to talk about their history" - Tari Rusere

    On this episode of the blackside podcast, Tari Rusere shares her thoughts on the relevance of movements like Black History Month in the UK. Having moved to the UK from Zimbabwe when she was 10 years old, Tari didn't see the relevance in celebrating the diverse richness of Black history in a monolithic-seeming single month.  However, in recent times, from getting more integrated into British life and being more divorced from Zimbabwean culture, she believes that Black History Month may just be helpful in reminding Black children and people that there is more to history than English history, which is the default version many children learn in schools in the UK.

    Ep. 01 Welcome to the blackside podcast

    Welcome to our inaugural blackside podcast episode. As the podcast launch coincides with Black History Month in the UK, we'll start by exploring Black identity in the UK over the next month and possibly, beyond. The podcast and many of the conversations that will follow were strengthened by the many discussions had on the many walks the blackside activity group had over the past year. This is the beginning of these conversations, with more to follow. Leave your comments, thoughts, experiences and opinions in the comment section below and subscribe to the podcast on your favourite podcast platform to get the latest updates when they're released. p4hsMuDetj6XbJaDlQDe Credits: Intro and outro music is Faya by SUPERARE Creative Director: Moyra Rusere
