Wrapping up the series, the team wanted to end with a broad reflection, returning back to the core concept of the podcast - intergenerational conversations to develop a better understanding of the Black British experience then, and now.  In this episode, Antonia sat down with her second-cousin Elizabeth Asiegbunam, who was born in Canada, raised in Nigeria and now lives in Canada with her family. Elizabeth and Antonia only met a few years ago on a family trip to Barbados. The trip felt like a reconnection to Bajan culture for both of them, and Antonia was keen to learn more about Elizabeth's sense of cultural identity. They talk about language, history and conceptions of culture from the outside - what is Britishness? Apparently, it’s more than just crumpets and the queen. Black Then, Black Now is a podcast produced by four young black Londoners aged 18 to 24, with the support of the Voltage Revolution.
