Accentism in the UK 🇬🇧
Hey what’s up people, long time no speak! #YourFriendlyNeighborhoodNegro is bringing a SPECIAL episode of #QuarantineTalks!
Today me and one of my best friends, Tim, discuss #accentism in London! I felt with the passing of “Queen” Lizzie and all of the controversy surrounding the “royal” family, that this was the PERFECT time to revisit this conversation! The term "accentism" describes discriminatory or unfair behavior centered on someone's accent or language use. Tim is an Australian born and raised man, who’s mother happens to be welsh! He came to the UK at 23 and has been there ever since (minus vacations and sabbaticals).
We discuss the DOZENS of different accents the city of London has, and the class differences therein!! The myriad of ways that SOUNDING a certain type of way in the UK can either help or hurt your chances in jobs, relationships, social-economic circles…basically EVERYTHING!
Then we go macro to talk about the difference of the Scottish and Irish accents, along with a little history on how the monarchy of britain have systematically discriminated against the other isles (Welsh, Scotts, Irish). We also discuss how Londoners view Australians as backward country hicks (the same northerners view southerners) and, lastly, do a deep dive on the phenomenon known as “Third Culture” !
Gatekeeper Adrian

FLR PLN (Floor Plan)
Hey whats up people! We took a look at our past #podcast episodes and noticed that they were majority #MEN. So, we have made it a focal point to interview and talk with more #WOMEN on the platform as a whole! Our next 5 #pods will be featuring prominent and popping #BlackWomen from the #USA and abroad! With that being said; this episode is featuring the lovely, #intelligent and #creative minds of @flrpln: @rachiebabie and @adialauren ! These ladies bring the dope shit you see on #IG and other online #boutiques, to marketplaces #IRL for a hands-on, in-person experiences! Focusing on #BlackOwned, women-lead, #beauty and apparel brands , FLR PLN upends the uber-expensive concept of the #PopupShop, into more sustainable and profitable business ventures! The thing that really strikes me about these #ladies is you can literally hear how simpatico they are: from finishing each other’s sentences, to the manner in which they respond to logistical questions! They give the do’s/dont’s of partnerships, why they created their brand and what sets them apart, and why they are strategically focusing on smaller markets than bigger ones! This is a DOPE interview, check it out! #WeTellBlackStories
