When Tony Sewell controversially attributed the educational disparities between African and Caribbean students to single-parent households, he ignited an age old ‘why are Afro-Caribbean boys failing in schools’ debate, which I refer to as ‘racial gaslighting within the UK education system’. I tackle these claims head-on, peeling back the layers of his argument to examine the real culprit!
This episode cuts through the noise, challenging statistics and questions whether leaders like Sewell (chair of the contentious Race and Ethnic Disparities Report) are advancing progress or advancing personal gain. This episode promises a no-holds-barred look at the complexities surrounding educational outcomes and the pervasive influence of systemic bias.
This episode also sails through the shifting cultural currents of Black British identity, especially among those hailing from Caribbean backgrounds. We share heartfelt stories, like the awe-inspiring journey of a student who leapt from our classrooms onto the Olympic stage, symbolizing the power of nurturing extracurricular passions and ‘leading leisure’. Listen as we weave the narrative of the haunting legacy of "Subnormal, a British Scandal," which chronicles the mislabeling of Black Caribbean children (now adults) as "educationally subnormal." From personal triumphs to systemic failures, join me, for an in-depth exploration into how these experiences shape the educational landscape and why we must remain vigilant in the fight against racial gaslighting!

This episode doesn't just scratch the surface; it examines the "poor race esteem trinity" of texturism, featurism, and colourism, and their profound effects on self-image and partner selection. We navigate through the murky waters of "porn preference" and "plantation perpetuation," recognizing how history underscores lingering racial biases. By peeling back the layers of "post-colonial social mobility" and dissecting the "pick and mix" mentality, this session aims to foster self-awareness and challenge destructive societal norms, prompting a movement towards transformation and understanding.
