What Can I Do?

You have watched the show been part of the Q&A and have the above question.....

We get this question a lot, and the answers are as varied as the people asking? 

Many people over the years have watched SOLD and asked what can we do to change the legacy of enslavement that we see in the UK today, which leads to so much racial injustice?

We can all do many things to be part of making change. Sign a petitions, find out more about the experiences of African Caribbean heritage peoples in the UK, educate ourselves via reading- groups - conversations - classes, support African Caribbean Heritage businesses and initiatives, look at your schools, work places, community spaces how inclusive and welcoming are they? If you were someone from the global majority, a person of African heritage how might you feel in these spaces? If there is limited representation what things can you do, to make change? ( could you add to  images/ literature/ invite speakers, widen staffing pools) . These are just suggestions but we encourage you to find actions of your own.

Change is made up on many types of actions large and small, start where you can and see where it takes you. 

If you enjoy reading  here are two reading lists to start or add to  your journey of finding out more about racism and anti-racism 

Book List 1 

Book List 2

  'One one coco fill basket......' meaning -  little by little the task will be complete.  

Never underestimate the power of the individual to make change - small actions can create ripples....
