The video effectively highlights the systemic absurdity where phonetic conformity is valued over scientific brilliance. It serves as a necessary critique of the superficial biases that continue to undermine genuine meritocracy in professional spaces.

It's that they comes from the influences of Africa as well. So it's that you know, I think Hispanic type of influences and all.
>> Could you dance with your granddad to that one? What? Semba? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SEE THAT PERFECT LAUGH?
>> [laughter] >> NEVER THAT, NEVER THAT.
OH, YEAH. [clears throat] THAT'S THAT'S that's my homeland.
>> So both your parents are Angolan? Yeah, both of my parents are Angolan. Was I was born there. I actually came here I shouldn't have said this like on any platform. So I actually came here because I was um in the middle of a war. Like literally. so I went through an actual Yes, a war, proper civil war. And so but it was like a normal day, so back home like everything is very community based. I was like 5 years old. You see little kids like walking in the street, like very community, like your community is like an extended family back home.
And then as now I was playing in the living room and all I heard was like literally that's how it started because it just starts because wars don't start like an announcement Yeah.
It just start. I mean like it's just like us here and then we'll be and then we'll be Jesus. But you know So you remember it? You remember it?
Say that again. You remember it? Oh, of course, of course. Yeah, I remember when we had to run inside the room and my granddad told us all to kind of go underneath the beds and I remember with my the baby my youngest uncle and then everything kind of calmed down and then my granddad came over, opened the door, said okay, you guys can come out now because everything was settled. I was playing in the living room and I found a shell.
Like a bullet shell. And I didn't know what that was initially because I was only 5 years old, 5 and 1/2 year around that age. But you know I still have that memory. And then I picked it up and I went to go and give it to my granddad and I still have his like his reaction.
So now like cuz it was literally on the windows there was bullet holes, like holes through the window. Yeah, and then yeah, and then he took it from me and he looked at me like that could have been me, his family. And my mom was like in the shopping center with my aunt, so she was trapped there when the whole civil war like It was like political parties, like you know, foreign and I was like that. Yeah, civil wars are normally within itself, so it's like factions within. So it'll be like conservatives and Tory and Tory and Labour and Labour and you know know, there's always foreign Yeah. You know. powers kind of and then it's just kind of Oh my god.
And then um my dad at the time was here.
He was doing his master's degree and then he I mean it kind of died down but obviously with there was there was still tension. So my dad was like, "Oh, just send Harriet to London. Just send her to London so she can spend the summer holidays." And my mom was like, "All right, she'll come there, spend the summer holidays." Yeah, 40 years later I'm still waiting. What about your brother? I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO BACK HERE.
THEY THEY WERE born like here majority of them cuz I'm like Oh, you know, sorry, your uncle that was there, did he stay? What uncle? You had a young uncle that Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He stayed there. My mom stayed. I came so basically Yeah, so I came with my other brother and we went we came to London.
My dad My dad picked us up from the airport. And um yeah, cuz at the time I came with my stepmom. So it's my stepmom and my younger brother. And yeah.
>> dad was already here. Yeah. Dad was already here. He was He was studying here. Okay. And he had a new partner here He had a new partner here already. No, he like back home.
Yeah, cuz he came as a as a scot you know like scholarship here to come and do his studies and he was going to come back home. But then his partner was going to go there anyways. You understand?
>> your mom and dad had already split up at that They had already split up at that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had already split at that point. Okay, okay.
>> [laughter] >> Is Is girl I think his new girl Yeah, TO BRING THE GIRL >> [laughter] >> THAT'S WHAT I BROUGHT. ALL RIGHT. HE JUST UM YES, I came with them. And yeah, and it was a crazy experience because I'm so used to the sun, the culture, language and I come here and it was 4:00 and it was dark and it was cold. Nobody talked to nobody. And I lived in Guildford.
Um so >> Oh, that's white. Yeah. And you have to remember this was in like mid 90s I suppose. I mean my early I'm early I wish it was in my early phase, I'm in my late phase.
>> [laughter] >> I'm in my early phase, too.
But anyway, so I'm in my 30s. Um so, yeah, so we're talking about like mid-90s, so um yeah, we was the only black family in the whole like kind of area.
>> out there or You know what? Because I was young, I didn't really experience me, I can't remember personally experiencing that, but you know what?
Looking back what I did see is linguistic prejudice. Uh we don't talk about linguistic prejudice much.
>> people speak? How people speak? What is that? Oh, it's like How people speak?
How people speak, so an accent. So, obviously my dad's got a very strong African accent, and my dad is very intelligent, and he a lot of you know, jobs that he sort of wanted to, cuz he studied biochemistry, and then he went to go and do nuclear medicine. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a scientist and all of that.
>> [laughter] >> So, the areas of um that he went was like obviously very predominantly, you know, >> Yeah, it's full of white. and and but it was crazy, cuz you think it would just be race the fact he's a black man, but it's actually a lot of it could be a lot of it was actually linguistic prejudice, because of the way my dad spoke, had a very strong African accent, and people have exactly, people have a when they hear an African accent, they instantly think you're uneducated.
Yeah, so that's called linguistic prejudice.
>> I feel when I LISTEN TO PERCY.
>> [laughter] >> SO, YOU'RE BEING PREJUDICED TO ME BECAUSE of the way I talk, you think we don't have no sense.
>> You're racist. That means he don't >> so you're racist. That means he thinks all Jamaicans, that means he don't rate no Jamaican. I talk with my accent. He don't sound like [laughter] a normal Jamaican. Because I'm trying to slim it down for some people can't understand what I'm talking. You're racist. You're prejudiced. You're racist, Rich. He don't like his own people, I told you that, Chris. I don't know why I told He told me he don't like [laughter] them.
And you're prejudiced. I'm just saying I Percy could you say >> see that? What is it you're talking about?
>> [laughter] >> Percy, does that inspire you?
You You you SEE WHAT I MEAN? DOES THAT MAKE YOU feel like >> [laughter] >> This guy is very intelligent.
You know what? I hear about that before, you know.
>> [laughter] >> Is that what you want me to Is that what you want me to talk about? SEE, THAT'S PREJUDICE.
>> YOU SEE? AND YOU'RE LAUGHING. YOU'RE LAUGHING AT HIM. I DIDN'T REALIZE. NO LAUGH.
CUZ IT CAN BE A IT'S BAD. You don't know, like >> Can that cause trauma? No, sorry. Can that cause trauma? It can. It can, of course.
>> My mom was scared to speak when she came over from um the from Jamaica to the UK and she went to school and the little kids would just kind of like laugh and then she didn't speak in school. So it happens to a lot of people from foreign. They don't speak much cuz they think people are especially the English people. That's mad. From we start the show, this man not stop take the piss out of my accent.
>> [laughter] >> So this is the people that you're talking about. I'm a scientist, though.
So we're going to do a >> [laughter] >> We're going to do awareness of people like him when they take people What What do you call it?
Um linguistic prejudice.
>> Linguistic See See a prime example there? So with your dad there, did he could he did he find it difficult to get work? 100%, yeah. So let's say for example, he he might want to, you know, apply for a higher position.
Someone that you know, with a English proper, you know, accent, um will most probably get the job above him. Um and it's crazy because in that room, he's possibly more intel more intelligent than >> Exactly. Talk again. Just like me.
>> But because he might not be able or, you know, the way that he might articulate in the in his African accent might come across cuz it it's crazy cuz people shut down like I said. All right, here's the question, then. Here's the question.
What if he was the same if your dad was educated the same way but he was white Polish or white Russian? Do you think they would still underestimate him or do you think also the skin complexion I think I think it's like a >> Or is it more a language thing rather than a color?
Or do you think it's a mix? I mean it's a mix a mix of both, but I feel like the racing is something that obvious. Yeah. I feel like we don't so for example they say there's two black men and one was a in you know a black man He spoke He spoke Yeah, yeah, yeah. So hello and then and then you have my dad be like oh so and even though my dad might have much more of a Yeah. like they would you know be drawn and sometimes it's it's unfortunately sometimes we don't even even us for example I as you guys know I'm a psychotherapist >> Yeah.
I want to ask you about that.
>> [laughter] >> Oh sorry sorry so Um so I'm a psychotherapist and even for me for example going into those spaces the majority of therapists um especially registered psychotherapists are middle class white women. Mhm. So I'm from East London, right? So I already have What babe?
>> [laughter] >> I say take your teeth. YOU DO THAT AGAIN and you Yeah, yeah. I take a breather, but that's one of the reasons so many reasons why I wanted to go into the mental health. One cuz there's you know there's only one part I think it's 1.5 or 6% of registered black psychotherapist. Yeah, it's very Explain what a psychotherapist entails. So it's a therapist for mental health basically.
Yeah. Um All types of mental health yeah. All types of mental health yeah.
>> Um and I specialize in drama psychotherapist which is creative therapy. So we >> Drama? Yeah. So basically play therapy type of thing is it? So it's every all medium so like every art music Think of every type so it's creative therapy. So if I'm instead of me just talking to you I'll be like all right how you feeling?
You know you can so you might not know how to How to people about I said, "You know what? All right, you know what? I'll take a little piece of paper and I'll just ask you to draw something." So, we find different might be music and you depending on your you know Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm looking for SOMETHING TO DRAW. I WANT A PIECE OF PAPER. I WANT YOU TO DRAW THE FIRST THING THAT COME INTO your head, Chris.
>> [laughter] >> So, um So, yeah, so I I lost myself. What was the question again? Sorry.
>> Right, so what you do like yeah, so basically do it through play and asking questions.
>> Yeah, that's what I was about to say.
So, one of the reasons why I got in got into therapy obviously the lack of representation cuz I like I said, I think it's 70% big percentage are white middle class women. And then then it's the working class as well. So, so there's class and there's that race thing and even going into it, I've noticed when I went even the way they speak you know, a lot of them if they come from middle class, they'll speak a certain way you know, standard language and accent. The PRs, you know, especially if you done theater if you come back you know, I don't know if you guys you know, their pronunciation. So, Exactly. I'm very good at pronouncing my letters.
>> [laughter] >> I say, "Hey, hi."
All the vowels.
Yes.
Okay.
Um I just want to quickly go back to your your dad, right? I know you said the prejudice in linguistics, but also can it be due to personality? And the reason why I say that, right? Because obviously as a psychologist or psychotherapist, you know, first thing is to be liked, right? Now, when I my mom was in hospital, right? I'm sorry, right? The Filipinos were really likable.
Even some of the white people were really likable.
Blacks and the Jamaicans and Africans vex all the time screwing up their face roughing my mom up. Do you get what I'm saying? So, is it to do with sometimes the way you are as a person and the energy you give off? Because a lot of the times the nurses that I wanted to like I couldn't, even though it was my own people. I'm thinking, "Why are you not acting this way?" Do you know what I mean? Whereas the other people they came across as nice, soft to touch, whatever.
And I know our cultures in general we can sound a little bit harsh or harsh and strong, so it can take people back.
Even me, even though I know it from the outside looking in, that must sometimes sort of play on, you know, how you get looked at, right? I I get what you're saying. I think a lot of our opinions based on our on our own personal experiences as well.
>> Right, right, right. Um however, I think if you ever met my dad, my dad is the softest Is it? You know I mean, aw, okay gang.
You know, he's very like very He's He's not like the cameraman.
>> [laughter] >> PUT THE PROTON IN THE NUCLEUS.
>> [laughter] >> I WONDER IF ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT LISTENING to this.
WHY YOU SCREWED UP YOUR FACE FOR?
>> [laughter] >> HUH?
That's in my head you talk like that.
>> [laughter] >> You said him I'm wicked. I want you to do us a favor, right?
>> Yeah, go on.
Practice No, no, personally >> Give us I reckon Chris is joking.
>> Return to us and see all you how it work, this cycle of everything.
>> So, if I let you Chris can ask me to Yeah, go, go, do something. What's the first thing you see, Chris? No, no. No, no, psychopath. Wait for it to say.
I'm not going to lie to you. I think I could have gone into this, you know. All right, so this is a creative thing that we do. So, I'm not doing it for free, so it's It's all right.
>> six Put this as six-part story. Yeah?
Did I do a six-part? Yeah, I did. Six parts, right?
So, who's going to do it? Me. I'll do All right, Chris. Do you want to give it to Chris?
>> Of what? Chris laugh at me. I got to find out something we did with that up our psychopath.
>> [laughter] >> Go on. So, >> think of the first like a character. It could be anything. It could be an object. It could be a character. Try not to overthink. Think It might not even make sense to you, but it could be anything that comes up and just try to draw it. It doesn't have to be human. It could be animal. It could be an object. Um just think of it.
That's the main character. Should I hide it? Huh? Do you want to hide it first?
Uh yeah. No, no, no. There's no need to hide it. No, no, no.
>> Yeah, it's not a problem.
Cuz I'm going to see the shock on your face like the man I'm a mad man.
>> [laughter] [gasps] >> This is really interesting. So, do you do like play therapy with children that suffer trauma then? Yes, so play therapy could be something that we could also use. Okay.
It could be sensory. You know, depending on the needs of the young person. If you, you know, from working with someone that's got um autism, severe autism, then what sensory work might be something that we might do. So, yeah.
So, it's just How long have you been doing this? Um I've been qualified for the past 2 years. So, been fully registered, qualified to use cuz I went back to do my cuz before this I actually used to work for forensic crime prevention. That's actually my background.
>> what what what? Crime prevention. Yes, I used to work for the youth offending team for like 15 years.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> So, I used to do do a lot of crime preventive, you know, youth work and like youth work basically.
>> Yeah.
>> Um so, that's that was actually my background. So, I used to work with um No, no. Okay. That's the next one. So, um so, that's your So, the second is >> [laughter] >> I want you to think of a I don't want to smudge that.
>> No, leave it.
So, think of something that you want that this character wants. What does this character want? What's the What's this character's objective or aim?
What's this? Oh, you draw poopoo.
>> [laughter] >> So, think about what this character wants. What does this character want right now?
All right. Does he have a tail? Yeah.
All right. Either draw it out >> It's up to you if you want to try to dress up to you. I will never say it's it's an invitation to go if you You can do what you want. Do what you want. So, what does whatever that box >> Let your brain feel free.
>> [laughter] >> You got into work mode now, right?
It's quite I mean, I've never done it in this way cuz usually kind of have to be present.
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a process that kind of goes with it. So, I'm just It's just I'm just having fun with you. So, what I said what what made you get into it in the first place? Um so, I used to obviously work with like gangs. And um a lot of young people. I didn't want into um working with families and family mediation stuff. And you know what was funny as well like talking about gangs, yeah. Cuz I used to work in East London.
I thought you was going to say you was in a gang. Yeah, I was in a I used to work in gangs.
Boss lady.
So, um I probably remember um Oh, sorry.
Should I Yeah, go.
Like I have to be present. See, I can't see usually I'm really present on Should I Should I sit next to you? Uh no, no, no, it's all right. Lord have mercy.
So, third one, I want you to think of an obstacle. Like there's an obstacle that is preventing you from your objective and your aim. What's the obstacle? Think of the obstacle.
Like just draw the >> He's going to try to draw a person.
>> [laughter] >> What What are you going to draw me for?
You want to draw me WHAT TO DO.
>> CHARACTER'S OBSTACLE?
>> [laughter] >> OH, YEAH, YEAH. Like you know, like what is preventing you from reaching your goal, your aim, your objective?
So, what's stopping you from getting what you said you just wanted? Right, it That's the character you mean? Yeah, the character. So, the character, yeah.
What's stopping the character from getting what they want? Don't think too hard, Chris. You're going to blur some burst a blood vessel.
So, this is the character. This is what he wants. What's stopping What's stopping that character get that?
Oh. Yeah. It wasn't It wasn't not a what I want but as you said what am I thinking to >> Yeah, sorry. But you know what? Cuz I'm sometimes being >> Oh, so you >> So you got the character that you So the character has a an aim or objective or they've got like something that they want. So on the third box what I want you to draw is the obstacle. So what's preventing WHAT THE HELL IS THAT YOU'RE DRAWING, CHRIS? NO, so we're still we're still talking about the story that you're creating. [laughter] So we're still talking about the story that I created. So on the third box >> Yeah. draw what could stop that character from getting what they want from that. So what is preventing that character from Okay.
You got to see what a man draw.
I saw it long time.
Like it don't matter it don't matter >> matter. It don't matter it's not about there's no judging. And it's not about the artwork as well.
>> Me I judge. I don't care. Got it?
Okay. So on your fourth box I want you to think about a helper. Who's the What A helper can be again an object. It can be a character. It can be Won't be influenced, Chris. is the helper the helper. So this thing or being is going to help you get or you know Get your Yeah, fight you know deal with the obstacle help you get to your aim. So think of a a helper.
Let me see what you got, CHRIS.
>> [laughter] >> WHEN ME SAY DEMON A real hell and crosses, you see me?
>> [laughter] >> Right.
You got it, Chris? Yeah. Right. So now the fifth box is how did you um you and this helper how did you um deal with the obstacle? So whatever you drew on your third box, how did you fight against or dealt with that obstacle to get to your aim to get to to So how did your helper helped you? How did you guys together helped each other?

Built up built up aggression.
>> Yeah. Built up aggression.
>> Yeah. With some Okay, so there's a lot of built up aggression and this grizzly bear wants to strangle someone. Mhm. And so what's stopping this grizzly bear from strangling this this someone? Jail.
That's what I told her. Okay. Okay, so Consequence. Police station. So the grizzly bear does not want to go to jail or it wants to Okay, right.
Okay, so we're moving on to the fourth.
So there's a helper. So who is this helper now that you >> Um my best friend. Your best friend.

>> Loads of times. Yeah. And then we sort of go deeper into that.
Do you feel there's any Do you feel it now? Do you maybe want to Do you feel like you want to strangle someone here?

>> [laughter] >> But you get the the gist of it.
And we go deeper and deeper and deeper.
Do you But do you know what though? I think this is quite interesting. It's quite good.

>> hijacking your modern brain. So, basically, what will happen is, um, it's a lot to do with defense mechanisms and stuff like that and past traumas and whatever else. Mhm. And, basically, you start reacting with emotionally to things rather than thinking things through. And, it's how we frame things.
So, you might frame something as not traumatic. Same thing that you've gone through, but you just like, "Yeah, it's nothing big."
>> Nothing, exactly.
