 The Beautiful Game! Football!
Soccer, if you're from the other side of the Atlantic. Football has always produced passion and joy for whoever watches the game. Many world-class players are becoming managers whereas many still seek the opportunity of coaching in the European elite leagues. Black and other ethnic minority ex-players seek and have these dreams too but struggle to get the chance to become world-class managers. It is a shame that a game as beautiful as football breeds systemic racism.

Over the past three weeks, we had the pleasure of delivering the Core Skill workshop sessions for Voltage Revolution. These sessions were aimed at teaching individuals key skills that will help them to become more effective communicators and how these skills can be applied creatively and digitally broadly across a range of platforms. The first session focused on public speaking and the importance of structuring your talks by using Nancy Duarte's principle of the Hero's Journey—focusing on how things are right now and what they could be.  Black Then, Black Now is a podcast produced by four young Black Londoners aged 18 to 24, with the support of the Voltage Revolution. Each episode is a conversation between one young person and an elder, providing an inter-generational take on topics such as identity, music, education, and love. This podcast is concerned about change and continuity. What was it like then? And how is it now?
