Beyond the Lens podcast desires to tackle the crucial conversations about the inequalities crippling the Black community in the UK. Our podcast seeks to shine a light on the barriers facing Black people; that negatively impact our social mobility, mental health, and well-being. We will explore both well established and innovative practices that can bring about self and community development. With all the talent and excellence vibrating through the Black community, why are we facing so much adversity? Beyond the Lens podcast enters the arena as a disruptor to the status quo. We want to see Black people, not ‘existing’, but ‘excelling’ without having to shrink ourselves. Period.
