What's Next For The Anti-Racism Movement? with Munroe Bergdorf

Another episode, another incredible lineup of guests to talk about the issues that matter most to our generation. This is Youth Rising by NCS, the podcast for young people, made by young people. This week we’re asking the question: what’s next for the anti-racism movement? To help us answer are activist and influencer Munroe Bergdorf and author and activist Patrick Hutchinson. Through activism, social media and a growing social consciousness we are more aware than ever of all the types of racism that still exist and that need to be addressed and discussed – but are also able to recognise positive changes and celebrate all different backgrounds and races. Later we’re joined by  comedian and creator of BBC Three’s Muzlamic, Aatif Nawaz, who chats to us about challenging racism in the media and how he uses his comedy to tackle social justice.
