In this episode, co-host Cephas interviews Jess Mally about the recent events in regards to racism in the US, the global response and the urgent calls for change here in the UK.The episode was recorded one day after Jess attended the Black Lives Matter protest in London and is a raw and honest expression. This isn’t a polished conversation and we certainly hadn’t planned to release this type of episode as our first one. However it felt wrong to abide by our initial schedule - business as usual is out the window.We hope that this conversation will shed light on the dynamics at work when it comes to systemic racism and add to the calls across the world that changes have to be made and they have to be made now.Jess references a few books and resources those who want to start the work of antiracism might want to pick up. You can find a small list below.There is so much more that can be said and done and we at The Third Way are committed to playing our part in bringing change. So this is only the first of many episodes addressing these issues.Our introductory episode in which we give context to the podcast, introduce ourselves and more will air next Wednesday (10th June 2020).In the mean time, we hope you find this episode helpful and we would love to hear from you.Follow us on instagram @thethirdwaypodcast and twitter @thethirdwaypodThank you for listening.Jess and CephasBOOKS TO READ:Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race - Rennie Eddo LodgeMe and White Supremacy - Layla F SaadWhite Fragility - Robin DiAngeloNatives - AkalaBlack and British.
