I feel the issues and experience attached to the Windrush generation and their offspring gets lots in the soup of support for minorities as if our issues are the same…? 01:10:51 Barbara J. Waters: Question: How has the inclusion of a Black wife and interracial children in the royal family influenced/affected Black History in UK 01:11:03 Claude Hendrickson: Blessings to all Claude Hendrickson Chapletown Leeds 01:11:20 Otis Graham: My company ME-WE-US-AS-ONE.

My apologies for being late to this summit. 01:12:49 Garrick Prayogg: WINDRUSH 01:13:30 Dianne Greyson: BAME is not a homogenous group, we are individual groups. 01:14:21 Claude Hendrickson: BAME needs to be replaced but with What 01:14:34 Ali jafarey: Can our US colleagues tell us the percentage of Hispanics in the US 01:14:41 Carol Ann Whitehead: ONS is the British Office for National Statistics 01:14:42 Mel R: Government statistics should stop using it as well; it hides too many problems 01:14:53 Michele Perry-Springer: I have started using Global Majority - language matters!! 01:14:58 Mel R: statisticians* 01:15:28 Dianne Greyson: Asking someones race is not a legal requirement. You can ask at interview if you think it is necessary. 01:15:28 Garrick Prayogg: Black is political term none white,but some minorites dont like the term black 01:16:09 Dianne Greyson: It has had no affect it just highlighted racism 01:16:15 Jayne Moore: I have been advised Person of Colour is a broader, more acceptable term? 01:16:18 Rose Edwards: In answer to Joseph Mullings question, I find the 'M" as in "minority' negative because of all the negative connotations associated with this term of reference. As a former chair and trustee of Race Equality Councils and a BAE Staff Forum in the UK, I ensured its removal from both our literature and terms of reference by others. 01:16:35 Carol Ann Whitehead: Totally agree Dianne 01:17:08 Joseph Mullings: I like the empowerment of using the term ‘majority’. And I like the removal of the term ‘minority. 01:17:10 Carol Ann Whitehead: Everyone needs to watch Downton Abbey to see the full snobbery for the British Upper Class 01:17:28 Linda Fus: Interestingly, Megan is supposedly not the first non-Caucasian to be part of the royal family 01:17:30 Judith Barton: Agree Sara 01:17:34 Joseph Mullings: But my point is really about addressing specific issues unique to the Windrush generation. 01:17:50 Dianne Greyson: There has been two black queens. One was Queen Charlotte 01:17:52 Michele Perry-Springer: Meghan -no impact just highlighted what is bubbling under the surface here in the UK - not so much under the surface 01:18:39 Joseph Mullings: i.e. reparations, resources to support an institutionally discriminated group whose life chances have been affected with cross-generational impacts… 01:18:44 Rose Edwards: Agreed Michelle Perry👍🏽 01:19:55 Carol Ann Whitehead: David Cameron, Teresa May was Home Secretary 01:20:16 Claude Hendrickson: Black People born in UK have needed a sense of identity for over 50 yrs now we have Children or the Windrush Generation 01:20:18 Jayne Moore: A time of great shame of our time in the UK - totally scandalous 01:20:33 Joseph Mullings: The crimes of the Cameron/Teresa administration is not half of the crimes against the Windrush generation. 01:20:44 OYEWOLE YAKEEN AJAGBE: The name of the ship that brought the first set of people was called WINDRUSH, hence the Windrush mess and scandal of the British government 01:20:50 Bakari Copeland: The narrative of "Blackness" is the social construct which leads to the public's assigning Black based on a drop of melamine tone of skin or mindset "ineffectively" relatable to Blackness beyond DNA." Don't get it twisted... 01:20:59 Martin Levermore: The hostile environment started in 2006/2007 under Liam Bryne when he was home secretary under a Labour Government 01:21:07 Rose Edwards: Re: the Windrush conspiracy, please note there are still deportations taking place from the UK to Jamaica. As Queen Elizabeth is still the Head of State for Jamaica and the Commonwealth why has the British Monarchy not taken any steps to address this? 01:21:16 Claude Hendrickson: Black people still live in a Hostile environment in the Uk 🇬🇧 01:21:18 Kimberley Thompson: Thank you! 01:21:21 Michele Perry-Springer: the 'low hanging fruit' easily identified by immigration officers because they thought they were British, it has been heartbreaking see how these people who gave their life and careers to the Uk have been treated!! 01:21:27 Alice Demba: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 01:21:27 Judith Barton: Thank you Sara 01:21:33 Tamara Holloway: Thank you so much Sara 01:21:47 Michele Perry-Springer: Well done Sara!!! 01:21:49 Michelle Porchia: Thank you Sara 01:21:51 Jayne Moore: You have so done that before 01:21:58 Dianne Greyson: Windrush is a scandal in the highest order 01:21:59 Margarita Suero: Thank you Sara! 01:22:00 Stella Okafor-Ross: Thanks so much Sara! 01:22:08 Nathalie Gauthier: thank you for an exceptional presentation! 01:22:10 Rose Edwards: Thank you again Sara and my apologies for my late attendance. 01:22:11 Leona Martin: Great presentation Sara, thank you! 01:22:15 Myra Crawford: Thank you, Sara. 01:22:19 Catherine Rock: Thank you Sara 01:23:07 Tassin Jourdan Idewu: Thanks Sara, well done! 01:24:19 Linda Fus: Thanks for running this session! 01:25:31 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: Awesome job Sara! We could have listened to your session for another four hours!! Thank you!!! 01:26:49 Daniel Holdsworth: The fish rots from the head, like it. Tokenism i like it and it exists im my work. 01:27:10 Dianne Greyson: It is shameful that we do not have representation at board level 01:36:34 Phil McCabe: Phil McCabe, Federation of Small Businesses. Great to be attending this - we published a report last year 'Unlocking Opportunity' that might be of interest. Here's the press release we put out: 01:37:05 Phil McCabe: FSB Press Release For Immediate Release New report reveals the obstacles holding back UK’s ethnic minority entrepreneurs Comment from Michael Sandys, FSB Merseyside and Cheshire Area Leader for Liverpool City Region New research, published by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), shows ethnic minority businesses (EMBs) contributed a staggering £25 billion to the UK economy in 2018 - equivalent to the economic contribution of Greater Manchester – but many are being held back by barriers which hinder their growth. The report reveals: • EMBs are more innovative and more likely to export than their non-EMB counterparts. • EMBs are often detached from mainstream business support, and struggle disproportionately when it comes to accessing finance. • COVID-19 has brought structural inequalities in the UK to the fore, with many EMBs on the COVID-19 coalface, including corner shop owners. A new report from FSB, ‘Unlocking Opportunity’ has highlighted the economic value of ethnic minority businesses in the UK. 01:37:46 Dianne Greyson: Money is often withheld from black British business 01:38:14 Phil McCabe: The research, carried out in association with Aston University’s Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME), found that ethnic minority business owners were more likely to export than non EMB owners in every region. EMBs were found to be more innovative than non-ethnic minority firms, with 30 per cent of EMBs engaging in recent product or service innovation, 11 percentage points higher than their non-EMB counterparts. Many ethnic minority entrepreneurs have struggled to access external finance to help their business survive and grow. To unlock the full potential of the UK’s EMBs, the report calls on the Government to introduce a scheme to improve ethnic minority access to external finance. An FSB member who owns a marketing agency said: “I think the lack of networks is a factor in access to finance. I have a PHD and a MBA. My digital marketing agency is successful, so I feel I have all the things investors say they want from candidates that are seeking investment, yet I’m refused.” 01:38:35 Carol Ann Whitehead: That's right money is often withheld including money t female run organisations 01:38:54 Phil McCabe: Over a 16-year period, nearly 30 per cent of people on average in the Black population were typically involved in thinking about, setting up or operating a business venture, nearly twice the level of the non-ethnic population. However only 3 per cent of respondents over time have been reported as running a start-up or a young business with limited variation between sub-groups. This suggests that a high number of nascent black entrepreneurs do not realise their vision. As the COVID-19 recession unfolds, the employment gap between ethnic minorities and non-ethnic minorities is likely to worsen. The report recommends that the Government should recognise the important role that self-employment can play, and that the New Enterprise Allowance should be scaled up to help people into self-employment. The report also calls for a comprehensive and regular national study of ethnic minority entrepreneurship in the UK, so we can better assess trends and target business support. Improving our understanding of how ethnic 01:41:38 Michelle Porchia: WOW - Weathering effect 01:42:31 Carol Ann Whitehead: BURB - Black United Representation Network - I came up with the name back in 2018 and proud to be a founding member of senior leaders driving the organisations mission. Greater Manchester has an acute shortage of people of African descent in senior leadership positions that can influence policy and decision-making. The decades long lack of strong and co-ordinated Black leadership has resulted in growing racial inequalities. BURN was created to fill this gap. https://burncic.org/news/ 01:43:05 Garrick Prayogg: in US only 27% have jabs vacinne 01:43:07 2020 335: Deep 01:44:19 Dianne Greyson: In the UK there is evidence of health disparity for black people 01:44:27 Irene Afful: So gutted I have to leave.

A great event, thank you Garth and team! Great to see you carol Ann 01:50:32 Michael Curry: @Irene Thank you!!! 01:50:42 Michele Perry-Springer: research shows black Children enter school with higher levels of skills, language, social skills, academic than many of their peers....and leave school with lower attainment....why? 01:50:48 Michael Curry: @Nathalie Thank you! 01:51:18 Dianne Greyson: Apologise all, I have to leave, great to hear the speakers lots of powerful content. 01:51:29 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: Carol Ann, you are always on point with your insight and enthusiasm.

Thank you! 01:53:09 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: In the US we use the term BIPOC…Black Indigenous People of Color… 01:54:15 Garrick Prayogg: black people is a global majority 01:55:31 Michael Curry: BluePrint for Health Equity in Massachusetts, co-chaired the committee that published this report. Worth reading for attendees in UK who want to see the recommendations: file:///C:/Users/mcurry/Downloads/Final%20Health%20Equity%20Task%20Force%20Final%20Report-%20A%20Blueprint%20for%20Health%20Equity%207.1.21.pdf 01:55:59 Michael Curry: Sorry, go to this page: https://malegislature.gov/Commissions/Detail/512/Documents 01:56:45 Michael Curry: Health Equity dashboards to track progress, Health Equity Leaders appointed to monitor and ensure progress (Secretaries of Health) 01:57:16 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: Hats off to you Julia and your student group for choosing the way YOU want to be indentified. 01:58:26 Alpa shah: Unconscious bias is a huge problem in the UK. Discrimination has mutated, more insidious and hard to prove 01:58:40 Michael Curry: Boston "Health Equity NOW" report: https://www.boston.gov/sites/default/files/file/2021/07/Health%20Equity%20Now%20Plan.pdf 01:58:43 Sherie Holding: agree 01:59:11 Garrick Prayogg: we do have black studies in Birmingham university 01:59:44 Alice Demba: Chase this is exactly what worries me about Liverpool and the UK! Black and mixed race children in our schools have some very negative experiences of education because of discrimination, unconscious bias, ignorance and lack of safe spaces to discuss race and equality. The UK school system lacks space generally for creative conversation, play, empathy, learning how to be a good human and practising this. 02:00:23 Alice Demba: But then teachers are under such terrible pressure because of the demands of the system. 02:00:27 Michele Perry-Springer: @Alph I no longer promote 'unconscious bias' because it is a cop-out - I call it 'conscious ignorance' 02:00:41 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: Please put your Panel Questions in the chat!! 02:00:52 Alpa shah: Love that Michele, thank you 02:00:55 Alice Demba: That's certainly another way of putting it Carole! 02:01:12 Alice Demba: Or just: racism 02:01:22 Alpa shah: yes yes!! 02:01:39 Garrick Prayogg: education education education Garvey 02:01:39 Michael Curry: Why do we assume bias is mostly unconscious? As the world witnessed with the election of Donald Trump in the US. Racism and bigotry was unbridled in the Trump years, revealing that "racial animus" was always there. The absence of us in business, c-suites, higher-ed, etc. is not always an accident. Always reference to the Bruce Willis movie Sixth Sense, where the boy says "I see dead people!" We don't want to see it, believe it's intentional, etc. because risk comes with seeing it. 02:01:53 Joseph Mullings: This is a curriculum issue. Teachers don’t teach what they are not taught. We have excellent Black scholarship in these areas e.g. Chancellor Williams - teachers need to be taught 02:02:08 Sherie Holding: I don't talk about unconscious bias but promote conscious awareness 02:02:25 DORCAS AKEJU, OBE: Do you think we will ever overcome racism ? Dorcas 02:02:43 Bakari Copeland: Institutional empathy will increase after more "mixing" occurs, albeit the cultural identity is homogenized at best, if a standard may be recognizable in years to follow. 02:03:03 Rose Edwards: Thank you Michelle Perry-Springer, likewise! I do not promote, endorse or utilise that 'cop out term' 'Unconscious Bias' for that very reason! 02:03:21 SARA SEWELL: Info for DIAL Global - wwwdialglobal.org Contact Leila@dialglobal.org 02:03:29 Stephen Maynard: Black history lessons to be made mandatory in Welsh schools 02:04:21 Alpa shah: I don't assume all bias/racism is unconscious, but there is a problem - it's a problem because it is ostensibly invisible to everyone but the person experiencing it 02:04:25 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: The Tulsa Massacre took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921 where the entire black neighborhood was burned out by angry and jealous whites who were jealous of their economic success. 02:05:01 Garrick Prayogg: lets talk about reparations 02:05:16 Joseph Mullings: Step 1: including Black History. Step 2: acknowledging that it’s simply the history of our world. We are present in every era of history, our history simply needs to be included. This requires more Black Scholarship. 02:06:03 Margarita Suero: Generational wealth reality, has been stopped or stolen from people of color! 02:06:13 Garrick Prayogg: The system is construction by white Europeans 02:06:35 Rev. Phillip R. Agee: Our relevant historical history is like an iceberg. Only what is non-confrontational or divisive or will put the Other in a critical light is seen above the water's surface. The powerful, significant history is buried to keep people unlearned. E.G. Black Wall Street!! Rev. Phillip R. Agee 02:06:42 Michele Perry-Springer: One of the areas I think we neglect is how we address our own internalised inferiority because we have embraced the lie of white superiority. We have to do some work on who we are and whose we are - Reclaim our African heritage because until we have a sense of who we are and recognise our worth we will endure the weathering as bro Michael has described. 02:06:52 Carole Copeland Thomas She/Her/Hers: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Started in 1909. One of the United States’ largest and most respected civil rights organization. www.naacp.org 02:06:59 Antoinette Coakley: Michael, Your words resonate! You are correct that as a young Black person growing up in Boston and here in the US, you might think the problem is us. We do not learn about the systems of racism that are at the root of the issues we experience in our community. 02:07:00 Rose Edwards: Bakari please explain what you mean by 'mixing'? My experience as a UK born of AfRaKan heritage of 50 + years who has been at the forefront of a number of cases of institutional racism is this: until we have accountability especially from public/ statutory services for their continued systemic and institutional racism, nothing will change in this regard. 02:07:10 Bakari Copeland: Tulsa but was but one of hundreds of cities, communities and households destroyed in the early 20th Century...and beyond. 02:07:30 Chloe Mcdonald: What are the first steps that should be taken within universities or other education systems to reduce the gap? Is there something the students should or can do? Or does it all come down to the institue itself and the staff? 02:07:35 Michael Curry: Everyone, please look up "Red Summer" 02:07:43 Terry Danforth: Professor Muomud El Kati in Minnesota 02:07:45 Gloria C. Love (PhD): Is it easier to simply change names? What is the purpose when we need to work together as a people of "1, 2, 3 …." of color ????? Should we forget that we have diversity among ourselves and tend to hold one another from reaching higher levels? Yes, what is wrong with us when we do assist one another to reach our goals? Instead, we tend to block one another's progress to reach endeavors? 02:07:46 Garrick Prayogg: brilliant panel 02:07:54 Leona Martin: Great panel discussion, thank you everyone!! 02:08:07 Antoinette Coakley: Thank you all! 02:08:10 Denise Turner: Thank you all!
