Inaya Folarin Iman

In this episode, Inaya Folarin Iman, Founder and Director of The Equiano Project, analyses the current discourses of race and anti-racism from the ideological trends to the diversity and inclusion industry which have bolstered a disciplinary regime that re-educates the masses into “correct thinking” while noting that those espousing “wokeness” seem to be shielded from criticism, even to the ends of the “sainthood” of society’s most elite individuals. Observing the shift in the breakdown between the public and private sphere where one’s workplace is now politicised, Iman describes how the capitalist class is now charged with solving society’s ills fully empowered with the mandate of social transformation.
