(Improved audio quality)

Join Inaya Folarin Iman, Ayishat Akanbi, Patience Xina, and Ada Akpala as they analyse some of the most hotly debated race-related controversies of 2023. From institutional racism accusations against the British monarchy to violent crime at the Notting Hill Carnival, they unpack the complex issues behind the headlines.

They also discussed the incident involving Ngozi Fulani and Lady Hussey, the "Peckham hair" scenario, the overall media coverage of the Notting hill Carnival, and the controversy surrounding Tyla not identifying as "black."

Reflecting on these incidents prompted discussions on the following:

• Why asking someone where they are from is considered offensive.

• Whether Asian people have monopolised the "black economy".

• How race is perceived and treated differently in various countries.

• Online discourse and criticisms faced by successful black individuals.

• Violence in subsections of the "Black community."

• The importance of having honest conversations about knife crime in London.

And much more.

We hope you enjoy it.
