Episode 34 – Trevor Phillips

On today’s episode, Trevor Phillips joins us to share his thoughts on integration, the currency of outrage, and why it’s important to keep having conversations about race, even if you don’t always get it right.

He is the creator of the thought provoking film:  Things We Don’t Say About Race That Are True. And, he is the author of Windrush: The Irresistible Rise of Multi-Racial Britain.
