The Intersect
The Intersect is an exciting podcast powered by the Mayor’s Fund for London, a charity that champions opportunities for young Londoners facing the biggest barriers.
We are powered by young people: their insights, views, and dreams for London. Our driving ambition is for all young Londoners to have a real say in how our city is run both now and in the future – and that begins with us.
Produced by the Mayor's Fund for London Youth Board.

Systemic Racism: “I have a love-hate relationship with Black History Month!”
In schools across London, Black History Month discussions and events will be taking place but how many talk about and address systemic racism all year round ?
In season 2 of our youth-led podcast, The Intersect, we are exploring “What School Didn’t Teach Us”. Join our Youth Board hosts, Samiyah and Ismail in Episode 2, as we begin to reclaim the narrative with Ndubuisi Uchea, the co-founder of Word on The Curb, a multicultural insights and communications consultancy that has built communities online and offline and works with the world’s biggest brands to engage Gen-Z, Millennial and Minority audiences.
They come together to have a profound and honest conversation about the heavy experience of systemic racism from the workplace to walking down the street, the importance of narrative and how to use your culture as a superpower.
In 2014, Word on the Curb released a moving poetic piece that challenged black history in the curriculum. It has amassed over 40 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNfH41-LI4w
