Race and disability in the aftermath of the BAFTA awards 2026
Episode 108
Sunday, 3 May, 2026
In today's episode Simone reflects on the aftermath of the intersection of disability and race/racism at the BAFTA awards 2026. Specifically the institutional choice to air the involuntary words shouted by John Davidson, a white Tourette's syndrome campaigner, towards two Black actors, the lack of accommodations and planning around the event, the lack of accountability and adequate apology around the impact of racism from both BAFTA as an organisation and by the individual involved. Simone considers the intersection of these two systems of oppression from the point of view of a white disabled person who has been paying attention to the voices of Black disabled people, specifically referring to the work of Imani Barbarin, a Black American writer, public speaker, and disability rights activist who goes by the username Crutches and Spice: https://crutchesandspice.com/Subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.
