Hair, discrimination and your rights
Manage episode 353587821 series 3394885
A tweet from a mum accusing her daughter’s school of having a racist hair policy has gone viral on social media. But what is hair discrimination? How do you prove it and do you know your rights? Lawyer Laith Dilaimi pays the pod a visit to answer these questions. Jackie Killeen from the Equality and Human Rights Commission also drops in to explain the guidelines.
We’re also talking about dyslexia. Uni student Zoe Littlewood and Marcia Brissett-Bailey - who has written a book called Black, Brilliant and Dyslexic - open up about their own experiences.
And we’re keeping things light and fluffy as we get into a debate on jollof rice. Unesco recognises it as originating in Senegal, as does Khadim Mbamba, a Senegalese chef. De-Graft, who happens to be Ghanaian, has a few questions…
