Panellists include: Heather Rabbatts is a British lawyer, businesswoman, and broadcaster. KimberlΓ© Williams Crenshaw, an American civil rights advocate and leading scholar of critical race theory. Gail Lewis, a sociologist who specialises in psycho-social studies of race and gender. She was a long standing member of Brixton Black Women's Group and a co-founder of the Organisation for Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD). Produced by Karnie Sharp.
