Heya, back with another episode for this series with the amazing Hadeal.

Hi guys, for Black History Month I've (Joyce) sat down with the lovely Hadeal to do a 3 part series and in this episode we discuss Pan Africanism and the relevance of this movement in the modern day. We've included Pan Africanism in the "Black History Month" series as we discuss it predominantly from a black lens as 2 black individuals.

Hi this was a really spontaneous episode to record - As usual it was a pleasure to meet another amazing human being 

Hi guys in this new series,  Big small talk, either I or Anna sit down with a stranger and have a candid conversation surrounding there lived experiences.

Note: the audio gets better after the first 14 minutes due to a delivery.

This episode was really fun to record and surprisingly spontaneous, let us know if you have any feedback x

Ever wanted an insight in to the day to day life of a young adult busy changing the game and raising the standards of sustainability with their own business? Well join us for this episode where we interview Kaan Amjad, a london based fashion designer and creative director of his own fashion brand. 

In a time where it seems impossible to reconcile caring for social issues such as homelessness, waste and climate change with a passion for style and ambition in business, Kaan truly proves in this interview that a middle ground can be reached and that this challenge can inspire growth rather than despair. 

As always thanks for listening and feel free to share your opinion on our social media accounts:

Feminism, why has the movement lost popularity? How should our understanding of intersectionality influence activism? What is the difference between equality and equity and which should we be striving for? 
We address these and more in this episode with Joyce, Zainab and I (Anna).

Last episode’s discussion on colourism  highlighted that experiencing it can vary based on gender as well as other geographical and social factors. So in order to gain more insight and a different perspective, we decided to continue this conversation with Tequane. Hopefully this is informative and supplements your understanding.

In this episode we discuss the topic of Colourism and its application in everyday life along with our experiences and opinions as teenagers. Whilst we all have a basic understanding of racism - Colourism is still a fairly new concept and topic of conversation such that this episode is not a conversation between experts but rather teenagers who like to have interesting discussions. We hope that our opinions will only add to helping you form your own.
