"COCONUT TRIAL" LIVE REACTION W/NELS ABBEY + SCHOOLS ARE COPYING PRISONS - S2 EP12 ➡️Video (filmed by Shezal Laing founder of Sankofa Day) of the Marieha Hussain "Coconut Trial" Reaction w/Nels Abbey + Kehinde: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_3UwFsIdh3/ In this week's Black World News Kehinde Andrew has been looking at secondary schools for his son, Kadiri, which reminded him of how the schools are just prisons. He explains why some not all inner city secondary schools, with mostly Black and Brown kids, are just prisons designed to police mostly Black and Brown children. But the problem is the schools, not the kids because these schools are not a welcoming environment, the schools are not resolving things effectively and the schools not building relationships between children. Schools are historically designed like prisons and are designed by designers of prisons. To support this, Kehinde brings in and breaks down the concept of Total Institution popularised by White man sociologist, Erving Goffman. It's important to overstand that schooling is not education, we can't rely on the schools to provide the education that Black children need. We also need community education so we are going to create a resource bank to offer an alternative curriculum for Saturday School and Black Education, please send in your resource links to mip@blackunity.org.uk and we'll create a Black education resource bank. Kehinde will talk more about schooling stuff in next week's podcast episode when he chops it up with Busayo Twins ("sharer of intrusive political thoughts").  -In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde and Nels Abbey (his second appearance on the pod) share their immediate reactions to Marieha Hussein's "Coconut Trial" verdict and circus (recorded during an IG live straight after the trial). We've also got Kehinde's audio from his speech at the protest during the two-day trial.  - Nels Abbey is a British-Nigerian writer, media executive, and satirist. Before this, he worked as a banker. His debut book, “Think Like a White Man” was published in 2019. It contains satire of modern racial discourse and politics in the corporate world. It lays bare the rules by which mediocre White men get ahead. Nel's writings can be found in several major newspapers and magazines. His latest book, “Hip Hop MBA: what the Empires, moguls and Business of rap can teach the World” is out now. Nels is one of the co-founders of @blackwritersguild and a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. In addition to all of the above, @nelsabbey is a social and political commentator and can be seen contributing to debates on several major TV channels. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS ‘Emoji trial': Black man acquitted of hate crime charges over use of raccoon emoji in politician rowhttps://independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/black-man-hate-crime-raccoon-emoji-b2508680.html Total institutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_institution “This is an attack on our community”: Kehinde Andrews blasts police probe over ‘House Negro commentshttps://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2024/09/18/this-is-an-attack-on-our-community-kehinde-andrews-blasts-police-probe-over-house-negro-comments/ In last week's podcast episode, Kehinde gives an explainer about Britain's history of policing Black political thoughthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taE6h5olFYQ Will P.

Beats and the boardroom: what leaders can learn from hip hop We chat to Nels Abbey, broadcaster, satirist and author of ‘The Hip Hop MBA'   What can organisations learn about leadership from the unlikeliest of teachers - hip hop's biggest moguls? On this thought-provoking episode, we're joined by writer, broadcaster, media executive and satirist Nels Abbey to break down the invaluable leadership insights found in his new book The Hip Hop MBA. From the book's origins after a chance London street encounter to unpacking why hip hop icons like Jay-Z, Missy Elliott and 50 Cent deserve to be studied alongside traditional business legends, Nels compellingly redefines the way we think about leadership success. We explore the resilience, decision-making skills, and sheer grit required for rap artists to beat the odds and build enduring empires. Nels shares priceless lessons from the paths of visionaries like Ice Cube walking away from a record deal and Suge Knight's tragic downfall after his ambition went unchecked. How have hip hop's greatest overcome adversity to display a leadership mastery that leaders should study? Nels argues that nurturing this same authentic, passionate, innovative mindset is exactly what we all need  to escape the traditional, myopic view of what a leader should be. Get ready to have your preconceptions shattered as Nels uses hip hop's most controversial and unlikely success stories to teach an urgent masterclass in courageous, forward-thinking leadership. You'll never see the boardroom the same way again.

A major survey of 10,000 black Britons has been undertaken by the Black British Voices Project in collaboration with Cambridge University, The Voice, and management company i-Cubed.  Maggie Semple, co-founder of i-Cubed, led the research team and Nels Abbbey is a writer, broadcaster and former banker who founded the Black Writer's Guild and wrote the book ‘Think Like a White Man'. The report on the survey, which covered multiple aspects of life in Britain including culture, was published at the beginning of October and makes dismal reading for anyone interested in the arts as it exposes an overall failure to engage with black audiences.   Tune into this important and enlightening discussion as Maggie and Nels analyse the report's findings and identify what needs to change and how.

Deep-seated racial inequality in the UK has been laid bare in a new report exposing "entrenched" disparities between different ethnic communities.Significant differences in the life outcomes of British ethnic minority and white people revealed in the Government's racial disparity audit have prompted Theresa May to urge institutions to help ensure race is never a barrier.A considerably higher unemployment rate among black, Asian and minority ethnic people than white British adults and lower home ownership among Bangladeshis and black people are among the findings to come out of the report.How do we become victors with so many things seemingly stacked against us

Guests: Darwood Grace, Nels Abbey and Femi Oluwole I believe 'Brexit' will have a negative economic impact on the UK. As for how it will effect us as Black people specifically; let us have a look at Tory austerity as a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis. Black women and children were hit the hardest. Yet, the crisis and subsequent recession were a direct result of the financial sector and collusion with the political class. Every aspect of government assistance and delivery of services was negatively impacted; from underfunding schools in poor ethnic minority areas to the closing of our youth centres or perhaps the lack of appropriate funds. Oversight and regulations and their relation to the Grenfell tower massacre is an even better example.

"Cutting!! This book rewarded me with dark, dry chuckles on every page. I had to laugh, because if I didn't, I would cry" (RENI EDDO-LODGE)"I really can't think of any comedian, satirist or journalist (with a sense of humour) that has made me laugh out so loud and be so stimulated intellectually at the same time. No messing people, Nels Abbey has written the most original book ever . . . It takes hold of your cerebral cortex then grabs your funny bone, and it doesn't let go until the very end. Honestly. Even the appendices shine with brilliance. What kind of book is this? I don't know. Just read it and see how difficult it is to put the label on the work of a true mastermind" (BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH)https://canongate.co.uk/books/2514-think-like-a-white-man-conquering-the-world-while-black/

Boris Johnson is the clear favourite to replace Theresa May. He easily made it to the final along with Jeremy Hunt after getting backing from more than 100 Tory MPs. But things have gone a bit wrong for him after his neighbours recorded a row with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds and gave it to the press. He’s also faced criticism for hiding from TV debates – Jeremy Hunt has told him to “man up”. So with a less than a month to go before we have a new Prime Minister, just how vulnerable is Boris Johnson? We speak to BBC Political Correspondent Ben Wright and Joanne Nadler, author of “Too Nice to be a Tory”. We also hear from Nels Abbey, author of “Think Like A White Man”, who tells us how things would be different for Boris Johnson if he were black.

With continued conversation around British identity, racism and diversity, there is no better time to explore this question and give Black British men a platform to answer it. SAFE: On Black British Men Reclaiming Space is that platform. Including essays from top poets, writers, musicians, actors and journalists, this timely and accessible book brings together a selection of powerful reflections exploring the Black British male experience and what it really means to reclaim and hold space in the landscape of our society. Where do Black men belong in school, in the media, in their own families, in the conversation about mental health, in the LGBT community, in grime music - and how can these voices inspire, educate and add to the dialogue of diversity already taking place? Following on from discussions raised by The Good Immigrant and Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, this collection takes readers on a rich and varied path to confront and question the position of Black men in Britain today, and shines a light on the way forward.
