Equity in Action

Everyone deserves a place in sports. Addressing racism in athletics requires a top-down approach; associations, communities, and families must work together to reshape the racial narrative within physical activity and create fair, equitable, and welcoming environments for all. Teaching children to fail, collaborate, and play is critical to their development, yet generational and systemic stigma can stand in the way. Equity in Action explores the many facets of racial inequality and how they can be addressed to foster fairness within the sporting industry. Hosted by Zoiey Smale, Disability, Access, and Inclusion Consultant and Sports Presenter, the series features conversations with leaders across the sporting sector, including parents, innovators, and professional athletes, reflecting on how to champion equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in sport.  From Tuesday 27th January 2026, you can hear inspiring stories from across the United Kingdom and gain practical insight into how to foster more inclusive, supportive sporting environments within your own community. New episodes are released bi-weekly on Tuesdays.   You’ll hear from voices such as:   Didi Okoh, British Paralympian and bronze medallist in the T63 100m at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.   Khadija Patel, founder of Krimmz Girls Youth Club, an inclusive space empowering young woman, girls, and their families through sport, leadership, and personal development.   Azi Mohammed, Trustee for the Mayor’s Fund of London and Chief Operating Officer of Salaam Peace, a community-led organisation in East London delivering sports and education programmes to drive positive change.   Inder Singh Bassi, five-time London champion and three-time national finalist in boxing, and youth boxing coach.   ---     About the Host: Zoiey ‘T
