Pivot Points
New word for old oppression (with David Gyasi)
Show Notes

This first episode with the actor David Gyasi (Interstellar, Cloud Atlas,The Dark Night Rises, Carnival Row) is a deep and wide ranging conversation.

David talks passionately about his role in an international consultation to come up with a  new word to describe the oppression of black people. We hear how this journey was triggered by horrific attacks on black people such as the George Floyd killing. David shares how this issue has affected him personally and how he sees the next step in the struggle for justice. I explore with David how society can collectively pivot to support and foster an end to the long standing stifling of black people and a better future for all.
