144: When Ideals & Reality Clash, Violence Occurs - On Systemic Racism, Protests & Making Real Change

Protesters are on the streets and people are rioting. Police are out in force.Clearly something needs to change, but will it? Will the passion, anger and outrage over George Floyd's death result in real world change? Or will it die out, only to be reignited following another similar tragedy?In this episode I explore the causes and results of racism, and dissect the impact of the medias twisting of the narrative to pander to their viewers bias. I discuss if it is even possible for a ‘privileged’ person to truly empathise and understand systemic racism, and suggest that the changes that are needed may realistically take a long time to be implemented. If this episode has resonated with you, I would love your support.Click here to find out more about my 1:1 coaching & counselling sessions.
