It’s in the Water: Sharon Hurley Hall on Racism, Resilience, and Reclaiming Rest

In this deeply resonant episode, journalist, educator, and anti-racism activist Sharon Hurley Hall joins Lillian Ogbogoh to unpack the layers of systemic racism and the legacy of colonialism. With clarity, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, Sharon shares how the murder of George Floyd shifted her path, catalysing the creation of her newsletter, book (I’m Tired of Racism), and the Share Anti-Racism community.

From confronting the invisible weight of everyday racism to redefining resilience, reclaiming rest, and challenging colourism, Sharon speaks truth to power with grace and candour. She also reflects on the intergenerational blessings that sustain her: language, knowledge, and the unshakeable fibre of survival.

Whether you’re seeking to understand how to advocate meaningfully, looking to unpack internalised bias, or need to hear from a woman doing the work without apology, this episode will stay with you.
