A powerful and eye-opening midweek episode as Emman, Brent and Chinx, welcome Ekaete, founder of the Pan-African Academy - an educator reimagining how Black history is taught in schools and guiding parents to better navigate the UK education system.

Safeguarding as a weapon: The word that makes schools listen.
Citizenship curriculum: The hidden subject that quietly shapes financial literacy, politics, and social understanding.
Teacher transparency: Akaita exposes why many teachers “just show up” and how passionate educators can make all the difference.
Black boys & bias: Real talk on why confidence collapses before GCSEs and how to fight back.
Reimagining schools: Why true change will mean building our own institutions for Black children to thrive.
The teacher’s burden: Balancing care, culture, and emotional weight in a system not designed for us.
