Listen "Ep. 3- Melting Pot of Racism"
Episode Synopsis
Belize is touted as a tranquil nation but quite often raging under that flourishing shade is deep-seated racism, residual of colonialism.
I wanted to talk about it just as a little introduction as this will be a recurring theme throughout the life of this podcast. I brought some friends along too! Rolando Caballero, an International Relations Student at University of the West Indies Mona; Musa Ash Abdul Shaeed, cultural activist and youth artist ambassador to CARIFESTA and Bryton Codd, athlete and co-founder of BK Sports; they all join on to share comments about their experience of living in a country that largely rejects its racist thread as a figment of the imagination and navigating a world a cross-road with imperialism.
I also included a clip of a Belizean mind that is I think one of our treasures in the decolonization project. I listen to this clip quite often as a reminder of the bigger picture, a reinforcement of my 'why.' Make sure you listen to the end to be inspired and called to action!
