#2.05 - Identity, Culture, and the realities of mixed race heritage feat. Carla Adebekun

This month Tunde and Nezzy are joined by special guest Carla Adebekun to talk about the different experiences of race and ethnicity particularly in the context of growing up coloured in South Africa, and how moving to the UK brought new experiences again, as well as an introduction to actual Black History. We also talk about THAT Heinz advert and the impact of the lack of Diversity, and the Grammys and the reactions to seeing Beyonce finally win AOTY. Check out Carla's podcast "Connecting Conversations with Cohesia Connect", and check out her group HopeGene's new single "Renew".

Om Podcasten

Tales from the Plantation is a podcast that started off as a WhatsApp group where friends came to complain about the struggles of being a black person in the workplace, and had a continuous stream of stories about microaggressions, off key comments and downright outrageous behaviour. The monthly podcast features discussions on a variety of topics from a primarily black perspective. If you have a tale about racism you've experienced, whether in the workplace, on the street etc., send it in to talesfromtheplantation@gmail.com and we'll read it out on the next show! Please remember to like/rate and review! Hit us up on socials: @talesfromtheplantation on IG/FB/Soundcloud, @plantationtales on Twitter.
