Episode 2: It's been 8 days since George Floyd - here's how I felt today

Episode 2: It's been 8 days since George Floyd - here's how I felt today

I'll be frank - I planned to have this episode all laid out, but as each hour, and each day, passes by I feel new emotions. 

So, today, I thought I'd share how I felt today - within a specific time period. I thought I'd share what my emotions are at this moment, and what my thoughts are at this moment. 

Whether you listen or not is up to you, but thank you for spending the time to read this. 

I discuss Black people in journalism, the white hierarchy of journalism, what it is like for Black British people living through this time, and what white people need to do to help. 

#BlackLivesMatter. Don't forget it.
