  • A new way of looking at the world!
    It aims to create a curious mind, promote self-reflection and consider that it isn’t enough to recognise racism does exist or to be averse to this. We need to be actively anti-racist and challenge ourselves before we can challenge others. We must find our own buts….

    "If you can learn something, you can unlearn it too."
    Brilliant reflection on the stereotypes and and preconceived notions we have within our communities and how we're all at least a little bit contradictory, but we don't have to resign ourselves to our shortcomings.

    Such an insightful talk. Made me reflect on my own unconscious biases. We need to be constantly unlearning and learning.

    Fantastic Tara well done. You are already aware of the racism I suffered due to my dual heritage. Lots of ignorance even at school that continued sadly many decades later.

    A thought provoking , non threatening but deep soul searching talk. It prompted me to question unconscious bias and our thought processes.

    A brilliant talk by a brilliant woman . Tara makes me think , question myself and reflect on my past . This is a difficult and fascinating subject for which so many people still feel the sharp edge of direct racism from discrimination . Tara's direct delivery and passionate approach to this subject helps me to remember it is all our responsibilities to challenge and show love to each other

    What a joy to watch and must say Impressively put through personal experience that we all have experienced in our lifetimes. If only humanity thought and acted with positivity, unity and love. Would racism exist? .
