Redefining Narratives Ep. 1 | Shabna Begum on Race, Resistance, and Representation in the UK

In the first episode of Redefining Narratives, host Romain Muhammad sits down with Shabna Begum, CEO of the Runnymede Trust, to explore the realities facing marginalised communities in the UK.

They discuss how, despite changes in political language, government policy and action continue to reflect systemic racism. Shabna shares her insights on the struggles migrant communities have faced over generations, the lasting impact of the British Empire’s legacy, and the barriers that prevent many from accessing fair employment.

This powerful conversation sheds light on discrimination in the workplace and the urgent need for inclusive leadership.

Redefining Narratives is a Diversify World podcast that bridges the gap between marginalised communities and the professional world by amplifying voices, challenging stereotypes, and telling a different side of the story.
