The brutal death of George Floyd sent shock waves around the world. Global mass protests with the Black Lives Matter movement prompted many businesses, politicians and services to step back and reflect on their own values in relation to diversity. We often disassociate ourselves with the US thinking the UK isn't as bad or extreme. And yet over the years with cases like Stephen Lawrence and the multitude of stories experienced by many  black people around the UK we have to look at ourselves as a nation in order that we can move forward and bring about change. In this podcast I chat to Candice Atterton, my old school friend and Labour councillor and someone I've proudly watched campaign for justice and love over the years, about her experience of growing up in a mixed heritage family in Leeds, racism in the UK and how we can be actively anti-racist. 

Last Night I Dreamt is so much more than a jewellery shop. It's a community where stories are shared - from the stories behind each of our brands and every piece of jewellery, to the story behind why someone is buying a particular item of jewellery. The Last Night I Dreamt podcast is an extension of that community. Each episode Rebecca will chat with someone who inspires her and has something to share with the Last Night I Dreamt tribe.

So stay tuned and welcome to the Last Night I Dreamt podcast. We hope each one will be food for the soul.
