George the Poet - Me Music and the War on Blackness
Manage episode 416184511 series 2786493
George the Poet knows better than anybody the importance of understanding your surroundings.
Born to Ugandan parents on the St Raphael’s Estate in Neasden, north-west London, George Mpanga has always been aware of his community. It was both his teacher and his inspiration – giving him the language, the experiences, and the skills to become the person he is today.
In this episode George joins former Guardian columnist Professor Gary Younge to unveil the power dynamics that shape our world, shedding light on the forces that restrict Black creativity and put limits on Black excellence. He shares his personal path from liberalism to radicalism, and what fatherhood and Tupac have taught him along the way.
