Hi, you are listening to Blue Note Narratives, conversations on love, light, life, and all in the key of blue. I’m your host, Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, and today, in episode two Unlearning and Reawakening, I am in conversation with a deeply reflective John Gilmore, founder of The Leap Schools in South Africa. Let&#39;s deep dive into what John as a White South African man, has to say about whiteness, blackness, and how we/us, me being a Black African Caribbean woman, got here. We explore how together we can reimagine an Ubuntu future for we/us, provided we are both open to love and being loved. 
This episode, a timely conversation recorded in February 2023, offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing discourse of the Global Majority.
The online launch of the book, Educational Leadership and the Global Majority: Decolonising Narratives was the previous year April 2022. John Gilmour was one of the panellists at the book launch.

Blue Note Narratives with Elaine Foster Allen

Blue Note Narratives is a podcast series of inspiring, uplifting, and unfiltered conversations with fabulous educators who have committed their lives to racial equity and activism. The meaning conveyed in the delicious sharing of these stories is in the key of blue, felt in your soul rather than heard, just like that blue note found in all genres of Black music, from Jazz through to AfroBeat.
Each episode is like a dance, swaying back and forth between the story weavers, and just as you are about to sit down and kick off your shoes, that Blue Note gets you, and you continue, barefoot.
