There are 575 chemistry professors in the UK, but only one of them is black. An investigation also found that racism is 鈥減ervasive鈥� in this area. So, a new scheme called Broadening Horizons has been launched to try to change things. Grace Odunlade, who is about to begin the programme, drops in to tell De-Graft about her own experiences.

Also, a swimming cap designed for afro hair has been approved for use in top-level competitions after being banned from the Olympic Games last year. The first black woman to represent Team GB in swimming at the Olympics, Alice Dearing, stops by to explain why it鈥檚 so important.

And De-Graft catches up with Shermara Fletcher, who read a prayer at the Queen鈥檚 funeral service. She offers some words of wisdom to those who are grieving.
