Recorded during Black History month this episode delves into the life of co-founder of Rebrand Bristol (Aki Akiwumi), which sets out to rebrand and re-educate Bristol to acknowledge its black history. Aki shares his story of how the history moment of Colston statue in Bristol being tore down by protesters ignited his call-to-action start Rebrand Bristol. We also discuss the systematic racism that still exists in today’s society and ask the question - what are we going to do about it?
