It's Black History Month in the UK and we want to make sure that Black women are heard this month above all! As such you won't be hearing any white voices until November. We're focussing on role models, the advice to the new generation and advice to current white adults but this naturally comes with explanations (and vents) about the responsibilities placed on Black women. We hope you feel seen, or that you hear something that makes you reflect on your own behaviour, and that we can lay our grain of sand to bridging the racial gap.

This episode is about a poem I wrote 2 years ago in one long rant looking back at the toughtest two years Harini and I went through, along with countless other girls in our cohort, many of whose stories are included here besides mine. It came from a wave of sexist abuse throughout London schools that gave rise to movements like Everyone's Invited. I wasn't going to publish it ever until someone else who had lived through this period told me she had never felt so seen. If you were one of them, I hope you relate, and if you weren't, I hope you never do. TW: sexual assault, self harm, suicide
