OM DENNE EPISODE
Host Ica Headlam speaks with Sadiki Harris from Black Thrive Lambeth about how the organisation supports Black communities in Brixton through a backbone model that props up grassroots work rather than trying to do everything itself. They talk about real co-production, community assemblies that get people's voices in front of council, and why leading with wellbeing instead of crisis actually shifts how people show up. They discuss Project Hill, stories of people who've moved through serious trauma without letting it define them, and why it matters that Black organisations employ Black people. Sadiki shares the Black Man Toolkit coming this year, a practical guide for young Black men navigating life after systems stop supporting them, and how Black Thrive is looking to Scotland carefully, working with organisations already doing the work rather than imposing a London model.
