None of us are included fully in the world until all of us are!

Joanne Lockwood is joined by Stacey Hart to explore what it really means to say that none of us are included fully in the world until all of us are. Together they unpack how discrimination and exclusion harm everyone, and why a “bit of the world” isn’t enough when we’re trying to build safety, fairness and opportunity.

They discuss privilege and meritocracy, including how systems, networks and social conditioning shape who gets heard, believed and promoted. The conversation also looks at how public debates about free speech and “cancel culture” can obscure responsibility and reinforce unequal power.

As the discussion deepens, they touch on gender inequality and violence against women, the role of media narratives, and how race and racism affect which stories are amplified. They also reference mental health impacts in the public eye and in experiences of harassment. Stacey shares her work with the Women’s Equality Party and her creative project Jug Life, which aims to broaden representation by collecting and sharing more diverse personal stories.
