Protecting the crown with Kelechi Okafor and Dawn Butler

Episode notes

The year is 2021 and still, in the UK, there are legislations outlawing hair discrimination whether it's in schools or the workplace, with groups such as Project Embrace and the Halo Collective fighting for change, how are we still here?

We are joined by MP for Brent Central, Dawn Butler, former Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, and Kelechi Okafor, actress, director, and public speaker, to talk discuss the problems and possible ways that we can contribute to enforce longstanding positive change.
