Overview

Through their work with Higher Education Institutions, organisations and companies across the world authors Dr Maggie Semple OBE and Jane Oremosu found that there was a need to help people as they discuss difference, race and inclusion. They wrote My Little Book - A Blacktionary The pocket guide to the language of race (Penguin 2023) to do just that. The Blacktionary Show takes a deep dive into the book and is a thought provoking experience that explores how to keep up with the language of race.
