The second episode of the S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys Podcast that explores 1 of the 8 Pillars of Happiness - Togetherness & Belonging, as it pertains to young people, black boys and the society as a whole.
The host, Kay Rufai ( https://www.instagram.com/universoulartist/ ) explores using his happiness research from the top 5 happiest countries ( You can download the report here; https://mailchi.mp/faddab9bb9a1/pdf-delivery ), how the quest for togetherness & belonging could lead to ideas of false loyalty that can be weaponised for coercion of young people into not 'snitching' and protecting the honour of exploitative figures.
The episode features audio clips from young boys that participated in the S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys classroom workshops with Kay Rufai exploring their thoughts on snitching - why they won't condone it or why they should?. These form the anchor for the episode.
