Beyond Boxes with Jaï Bristow
1. Beyond Black with Danson Njoka
Danson shares his experiences of race across continents as a Black man born and raised in Kenya who studied in the US and now lives in the UK who "didn't grow up racialised as Black". He talks about becoming aware of his racial identity when he moved to the the US; his experiences of facing racism for the first time; the impact of colonialism on him, his parents and his grandparents and offers tips on how to be an ally.
