Episode 13: Leon Diop – Being Mates with the President, Adopting Seals & Black Irish Identity

In this episode of the Still I Rise Podcast, I sit down with Leon Diop, co-author of Black and Irish, to explore the richness and complexity of Black Irish identity, racism in Ireland, and the joy of Black culture in Irish life.

Leon shares his personal journey growing up Black in Ireland, reflecting on identity, intersectionality, and internalised sectarianism.

We discuss how the landscape of racism and anti-racism in Ireland is evolving and the powerful impact of the Black and Irish book in amplifying underrepresented voices.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in race, culture, and identity in Ireland, as well as those seeking to understand what it means to be Black and Irish today.
