I'm Grand Mam

Ep 37 - I’d Like to Speak to the Manager of Systemic Racism Please

This week the lads have had their first troll and are absolutely revelling in it because they feel like this means that they’ve truly made it. They then discuss the chaotic art of pebble-dashing before turning their attention to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. We now know it is not enough to not be a racist; we all have a duty to actively be anti-racist and as the lads were not sure where to start with their allyship, they share the tips of some of their fave iconic black people to help get the ball rolling.  Split Your Donations Between Organisations Fighting for Racial Justice: <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn?refcode=insta" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn?refcode=insta</a>  Box’d Out Podcast by Amanda Adé:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5V8ak2zR6MkBY9K49jRxwM?si=cchA0ao2Qe2j8qCuxW5Pqg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/episode/5V8ak2zR6MkBY9K49jRxwM?si=cchA0ao2Qe2j8qCuxW5Pqg</a>  Black Trans Activist Munroe Bergdorf: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/munroebergdorf/?igshid=1nufsy4hz8ois" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/munroebergdorf/?igshid=1nufsy4hz8ois</a> Brian O’ Flynn Anti-Racism Letter Template to Irish TDs:<a href="https://medium.com/@brianoflynn167/anti-racism-letter-to-irish-tds-ce6a0904ee38" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@brianoflynn167/anti-racism-letter-to-irish-tds-ce6a0904ee38</a> Hosted on Acast.
