Rewind to the 90’s: Race, Gender & Drama - Part 2
Episode notes
How much does your teenage environment dictate who you become?
We are back with the second half of our deep dive into 90s youth culture in England, the education system, race, gender and identity with Hannah and her school friends, Dan, Leon, and Eleanor.
In this episode, the group shifts focus toward the broader societal frameworks they had to navigate as young people in South London. They candidly unpack how systemic attitudes toward race and gender influenced their formative relationships, self-expression, and individual paths to self-acceptance.
It’s a moving conclusion to a conversation that proves looking backward is sometimes the only way to truly understand how far we've come.
Please note: This episode touches on sensitive themes, including racism and discussions surrounding sexual consent, which some listeners may find distressing or triggering.
