Prejudice and inclusion

*TW* Today’s episode is on a topic which affects us all. 

Prejudice, bias and inclusion are all ongoing hot topics which can affect our wellbeing, how we feel about ourselves and our experience of the world. 

Here I look at the reasons why it is such a complex area to navigate and not as simple as it should be. 

There are some anecdotes on this episode that might be difficult to listen to.
