We may all be in the same storm, but we’re not all in the same boat. The ongoing global impacts of COVID are still unfolding, and the stories of the hardest hit simply aren’t being told in the mainstream media. But some brave souls are not just speaking out, they’re fighting back. 18 year old Adela Scotland (@infinite_adela) joins us today to talk about her justice campaign for the students of the Caribbean (#JusticeForCAPE_2020) whose graduation grades and university hopes were dashed by a still-unexplained decision by the CXC examination board.
Please note: Due to technical limitations on Adela’s end, the audio quality of this episode is quite poor. We’ve done our best to clean it up, and provided a full transcript here to help clarify her message, which we felt was important enough to use this audio, regardless. We hope you agree.
