Sarah Castro MBE: The Black Jewish Experience
Sarah Castro MBE has over 20 years\u2019 experience working with charities, local authorities and in social housing. Sarah has worked in some of London\u2019s most disadvantaged communities and is currently an Independent Adviser to the Metropolitan Police during critical incidents, and acts as an independent observer on high-level operations. She also works with the Trident Gangs Unit on their community engagement strategy.
\nThis episode is a unique opportunity to hear someone, incredibly knowledgeable and eloquent, discuss what it is like to be a black Jew today and what happens when these two worlds, which are so often perceived to be like oil and water, come together.
\nWith headlines telling us that antisemitism is rife and our eyes being opened to the blatant and systemic racism all around us, this episode explores these issues from the inside and is not one to be missed.
\nIn this episode, Sarah talks to us about:
\n- \n
- The Black Lives Matter movement and how this is a \u201cno go back moment\u201d in time \n
- Wiley\u2019s recent anti-semetic commentary \n
- How the Jewish and Black communities have more in common than sets them apart \n
We cover generational trauma, non violent communication, how Jews became white, her work with drug wrecked communities and the power these communities have in the fight for their own standards of living
\nSo we cover a lot!
\nYou will fall off your chair with the blast of energy.
