Systemic Racism became an as prevalent topic as Covid 19 this year. The global conversation around this topic kicked off in the US as more and more African-Americans were killed due to police brutality. But not only in the US, this is an issue to be raised. Systemic racism indeed exists and has been existing in various countries around the world…This first Podcast is made of two parts. The second part will be published in two weeks!

We speak to Zak Bekkali, Doménica Avila Luna, Santiago Duque Franco and Awele Ajufo (MPA second-year students), about how they see systemic racism within their respective countries.

About the author

Reshma Anwar

Reshma is a second year MPA candidate at LSE. Her background lies in the Performing Arts as she holds a BFA in Dance with a minor in Music Business and Entrepreneurship from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She specializes in using the arts as a tool for systemic change. Between others, Reshma created a dance education program at Miami’s Lotus House Women’s shelter. Most recently, Reshma has worked as a Policy Research intern at Wonder Foundation, exploring the teaching of soft skills through the arts to build a stronger female workforce in developing countries. Through her multicultural background, having worked with various diverse professional dance companies and working as a volunteer dance instructor for children in Jamaica and Haiti, she got even more interested in humanitarian rights, specifically inclusion of minorities and women’s rights, which ties to this project.
