Tales From The Plantation
Tales from the Plantation is a podcast that started off as a WhatsApp group where friends came to complain about the struggles of being a black person in the workplace, and had a continuous stream of stories about microaggressions, off key comments and downright outrageous behaviour. The monthly podcast features discussions on a variety of topics from a primarily black perspective. If you have a tale about racism you've experienced, whether in the workplace, on the street etc., send it in to talesfromtheplantation@gmail.com and we'll read it out on the next show!
