This space has been created by young people, for young people. It’s all about sharing real experiences, exploring who we are, and talking honestly about race, identity, and school life.
We know these conversations aren’t always easy, but they matter. Here, your voice is important, your story is valid, and your perspective can help shape change.
Take a look around, learn about what we’re doing, and know that you’re part of something that’s bigger than all of us

Welcome to Unfiltered: Black Teen Voices UK! 🎙️ This is where we keep it real — real voices, real stories, and real conversations about being young and Black in the UK.
We’re talking identity, culture, school, racism, family expectations, Black pride… and yeah, even some of those things people think about us but never actually ask!
This is Unfiltered: Black Teen Voices UK — and our voices matter.
Watch our latest Podcast
We kickstart with an episode on Identity – name. hair. accent. family. culture. The food we eat. The way people see us — and, more importantly, the way we see ourselves.
It is Unfiltered: Black Teen Voices UK, hosted by Dr Terrence Isaacs alongside four incredible young voices — Phoebe, Ruoeda, Temi and Gbenro — for a real, open and sometimes funny conversation about identity, Blackness and pride.

From learning how to develop their confidence and personality, they go on to explore building relationships, taking accountability for their actions, and understanding who they are as individuals.
