Black All Year – Riots, Race & Reckonings

It’s been one year since the 2024 UK riots shook the country. In this raw and reflective solo episode, Steph Edusei unpacks the racialised fear, silence, and scapegoating that followed, and what it revealed about Britain’s ongoing relationship with race, justice, and belonging.

Steph shares her personal reflections on:

• The impact of the riots on Black and minoritised communities
• The double standards in media, protest, and safety narratives
• Why Diane Abbott's words matter
• The everyday emotional toll of existing in a racialised body
• What it means to sit with discomfort, and to challenge it

This episode is a reckoning and a call-in. Because racism doesn’t disappear when headlines fade, and real safety means truth, accountability, and solidarity.
