The collaborative praxis series is back for season 2! In this episode, I vibe with our anti-racist viber Ray Addai. Ray is a man of Ghanian heritage who is Black British and born in Newcastle. He is the anti-racist practice lead in social work at the Durham County council. We vibe about Ray’s background (e.g., raising a dual-heritage child), his definitions of racism, White privilege and anti-racism in social work. Specifically, the ways in which the racism in social work script is around problematising Black global majority – as with Gypsy and Roma Traveler - culture in the Northeast of England. Moreover, the best ways to flip this script is by challenging Eurocentric methods and embracing indigenous and anti-racist methods that promote opportunities for reconnecting communities and developing mutual understanding so we can all be empowered.

Please tune in to this enlightening episode.
