Christopher Kaba was only 24 when his life was taken from him by an armed officer of the Metropolitan Police Service in September 2022.  In this mini episode we honour the man, discuss the response from the police and the media, and relate it to racial bias in policing in Cornwall.  Please support Chris Kaba's family: https://www.justiceforchriskaba.org/ Join Black Voices Cornwall in a stand of solidarity in Truro on 24th September 2022 https://facebook.com/events/s/stand-in-solidarity-with-justi/3141610646150251/

Join us for our inaugural episode as we have an honest discussion with Devon and Cornwall Police Executive Support Officer Yvan Clarke, who shares his unique experience of being mixed race in the service. We're also learning about the key aims of Black Voices Cornwall, listening to some beautiful poetry from Josephine Hall and learning about the critical work of FiveXMore, and letting you know how you can get involved.
