👉🏿 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8g-wk0RIg&t=1s
In this week's Black World News Kai discusses the news of Paul Stephenson's passing earlier this month. Paul was a civil rights legend in the UK and a great example of a Black historical figure who should to be on the curriculum. Talking of the curriculum, this week's official guest interview is with Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum (aka TBC). They discuss her important work and her important new book ‘Omitted‘ (OUT NEXT YEAR: Feb 13, 2025), which dives into popular misconceptions about Black history, and asks why education still hasn’t changed, even in schools now. Lavinya makes plain some of TBC's challenges when working with institutions and sponsors, the impact of TBC, and whether the curriculum will ever change.
Lavinya is a writer, author, founder & director of TBC. Having graduated with a BA in African Studies and Development from SOAS University, London in 2019, Lavinya was inspired by her learning and experience in New Zealand to set up TBC in 2019 aged 22. During university, she was engaged in student activism as the "Working Class Student Officer" and co-founded a society called Art and the African Mind, which aimed to promote and provide African-centred art and information as well as support for students. Continuing to engage in her love of writing, Lavinya published her dissertation which won the inaugural Walter Rodney Prize, and has written on social and cultural themes throughout the African diaspora for outlets including the Guardian, Black Ballad, and Quartz Africa.
TBC was co-founded in 2019 by Lavinya (CEO), Bethany Thompson, and Lisa Kennedy. TBC is a national movement and social enterprise that seeks to change the way Black history is engaged with by everyone. It works to ensure histories of Black people in Britain are integrated into schools and educational facilities. It was supported by Virgil Abloh who was a patron and continues to be supported by Edward Enninfull, David Olusoga, and Jade Bentil. Their work has made real-life differences including learning resources, introducing an accredited Black British history course and Lavinya continues to speak about it worldwide. For her efforts, she’s been awarded the Freedom to the City in London and MIPAD (Most Influential People of African Descent) in New York.

"There's No Such Thing as a Racist, There is Racism" - Kehinde Andrews
No guest this week, instead listen in for a Political Education feature from Kehinde Andrews (@Kehinde_Andrews). He highlights the difference between racially prejudiced people and racism, between individual racists and structural racism. "Racism is always systemic," says Kehinde, and if we don't get this we then misdiagnose the problem and come up with the wrong solutions like representation and DEI eg tackling racism in UK club football, and the achievement gap in UK and US higher education. It gets us nowhere.
With money from the book Kehinde's also filming in New York on February 19, 20, and 21, around the 60th anniversary of Malcolm's assassination. The doc-film is about Malcolm's life and what he would say if he were here with us today. He's filming for the doc in New York. If you know any organization or people Kehinde can talk to, for the documentary, please email mip@blackunity.org.uk. Thank you.

"The Fight For Haiti" Film Interview w/Prod-Director Etant Dupain S2 EP20
Season 2 · Episode 20
Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 01:08:03
➡️WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_GTfGBU7Y0&t=3s
After Haiti got pawned in the US election Kehinde Andrews interviews Haitian-American filmmaker, Etant Dupain, about his new doc (film) "The Fight For Haiti." It tells the truth about the historical and current story around the Venezuelan PetriCaribe Oil Alliance scandal in Haiti. PetriCaribe was set up by former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. A program for LAC countries (Haiti joined in 2006) to buy oil through a repayment plan for preferential prices, resell to its oil suppliers at international prices, and use the savings for development projects such as infrastructure, health care, and education. This was a chance for Haiti to invest in itself. However, billions of dollars from the fund were wasted, embezzled, and stolen by those entrusted with it, taking it from those who needed it most. The film amplifies the self-determined grassroots struggle of Haitian activists aka Petrochallengers, who put everything on the line to lead the fight against government corruption, impunity, and state-sanctioned violence. It also follows how politicians and oligarchs have attempted to use gangs to destroy the popular movement.
Etant Dupain is a journalist and filmmaker. Etant founded an alternative media project in Haiti to enable citizen journalists to provide access to information in Haitian Creole for and about internally displaced people, aid accountability, and politics.
A FREE SCREENING of "The Fight For Haiti" will run next week (Nov 19) at the BLOC Cinema at Queen Mary's School of Law. Tickets are available on Eventbrite (link below) Etant will be there, go say hello.

Kaba "The Negro" Vs Cop "The Good White Man" + LOATAD (BUF) S2 EP17
In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde (@Kehinde_Andrews) discusses how we understand Monday's not-guilty verdict of Sgt. Martyn Blake's trial, a White MET police marksman who killed an unarmed Black man, Chris Kaba in 2022. Kehinde links this to other cases of Black men killed by the police, to-date UK stats on police killings of Black people; and the relevance of Malcolm's concept of "The Negro" that's still with us today.
He makes plain that the racism of the police is the racism of the society. The police are as racist as the society allows them to be. We have the police force that society wants. The police, police with the consent of the racist society. The fears, prejudices, negative criminal stereotypical assessments, hallucinations, and "perceptual distortions" of the police are all features of the psychosis of Whiteness, a global phenomenon, that leads to our deaths.
In this week's Interview Kehinde talks with award-winning Sylvia Arthur (LOATAD founder) and Seth Avusuglo (LOATAD manager) from the Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora Archive. They discuss the origin, mission, and development of LOATAD, the difficulty of getting Black books on the continent, the writing residencies + more.

LOATAD’s current collection contains around 4000 books by writers from 41 of Africa’s 54 countries and Black authors from the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and around the world. LOATAD's mission: to celebrate and champion Africa’s rarely acknowledged contribution to the global literary canon.

Yomi Adegoke on "The List" + British Empire Legacy W/Chagos Islands "Return" - S2 EP15
In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde Andrews talks about the positives and negatives of UK foreign secretary David Lammy announcing that Britain will be "returning" sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the Mauritian government.

For example, a UK-US military base on Diego Garcia (the largest island of the Chagos Archipelago) will remain under UK-US control. He also rants about Kemi Badenoch potentially becoming Britain's first Black Prime Minister after recently reaching the top 2 for the Tory leadership race.
