Description

This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by social housing activist Kwajo Tweneboa. Kwajo grew up in social housing, and his family were housed in inhabitable conditions: unsafe spaces riddled with mould, cockroaches, mice, leaks and damp. Kwajo’s father was diagnosed with cancer and, whilst being nursed in this environment, passed away from his illness. After receiving little to no help in making their home habitable, Kwajo decided enough was enough, and gathered evidence from over 500 tenants that lived on his estate; this enabled them to shame their housing association into finally carrying out the works that were needed. From there, Kwajo has been continuing the fight, shaming landlords and housing associations across the UK into providing safe, sanitary homes for all. Follow Kwajo on Instagram and Twitter @kwajohousingFollow us on Instagram @shouldideletethatEmail us at shouldideletethatpod@gmail.comProduced & edited by Daisy GrantMusic by Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.
