This episode is dedicated to the Free Palestine movement. This Summer we’ve seen an increase in awareness of how the right wing settler colonialists Israeli government continue to rule by genocide and apartheid.
In this episode Rabya interviews Rida, who has long been a supporter of the movement and of BDS - Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. She retells her awakening moment, and we contextualise the conversation against the backdrop of continuing to decolonise and fight oppressive systems. We hope you feel embolden to add your voice to this much needed movement and find the information useful in your ongoing education.

Although it is a week after International Women’s Day, it is still Women’s History Month and the horrific events of the past week, past months and throughout history have only highlighted the way in which folks have banded upon IWD as a way to exercise their performativity, make money (capitalism) and co-opt a movement which is rooted in socialism and indeed protest.

We're back, Happy New Year!
In this episode we share our journeys of growth, of divorcing and diverging away from capitalist structures. It's deep, nuanced and as ever there is laughter!
We're throwing Modi and the BJP into the trash can, and sending a heap of love to the kisaan farmers and workers, the incredible women and minority groups protesting in India.
We're loving poetry and hopefully you will feel nourished and see by the end of this episode.

Welcome back! In this episode we talk about our experiences of Christmas growing up with multicultural and ethnic identities. We also talk about decentering Christmas in schools. As ever we cover what we’re loving, and what we want to put in the bin! And yes there’s a Christmas theme to that too!
We mention @javaholicandtheboy - they’re a brilliant photographer https://instagram.com/javaholicandtheboy?igshid=ixbr5454dw0f

We are rejoined by the amazing Lucy Lucraft! Woohoo! And we talk about what it feels like to constantly have your name mispronounced, made fun of and generally bastardised!
Then we have a heart felt rage at the dehumanising, evil Tory policies.

We talk Cultural appropriation , our experiences and what we’ve witnessed where language has been co-opted. We shout at Gwen Stefani for wearing a bindis in the 90s!
We also just laugh an awful lot - it’s a bit more lighthearted after our rather vulnerable first episode! We hope you throw your head backs in laughter too, and enjoy.

Welcome! It is our first full episode! And phew is it a juicy one!! We open up about the complexities of growing up mixed race, our experiences of assimilation at school and in life. It’s quite a raw and vulnerable episode that we hope you’ll lean into. A slight content warning too regarding mention of sexual harassment.
Apologies for the slight echo, our mics were picking up each other’s sound which we didn’t realise.
