A proposito di questo titolo

Wait, I’m Black?! is a podcast about the moments when race stops being abstract and starts to matter.

It’s a reflective space with warmth, humour, and honest conversations that make visible how race shows up in everyday life – sometimes quietly, sometimes suddenly, and sometimes only understood years later.

Hosted by Michael Buraimoh, the series centres on the moment, or series of moments, when race shifts from a neutral descriptor to something consequential: when it begins to shape how one is perceived, treated, or afforded opportunity.

While grounded in the host’s experience as a Black person, the podcast intentionally creates space for voices across racially minoritised communities, recognising both shared patterns and important differences in how race is lived and felt.

Episodes prioritise lived experience over theory, and reflection over prescription. If you or someone you know has a “Wait, I’m Black?!” moment you’d like to talk about on the podcast, you are welcome to reach out.

    In this episode of Wait, I’m Black?!, Michael sits in conversation with Wellington Makala – a Chief Nurse in the NHS and an experienced, passionate healthcare leader.

    Wellington grew up in Zimbabwe with a strong sense of who he was – shaped by family, belonging, and purpose, not race.

    When he moved to the UK, something shifted.

    He reflects on the moment race stopped being abstract and began to carry weight – and how that realisation has shaped his experiences of work, belonging, and identity ever since.

    This episode explores what it means to lose a certain kind of ease, to become newly aware of how you are seen, and the ongoing effort to hold on to who you are in the face of it.
