    racism in the queer community. w/ adam itrakjy.
    Mar 28 2021

    Adam and I speak all things race, religion, faith and intersectionality in this episode and how representation is something that is at the core of how QPOC and their rights can be heard and amplified. There is also discussion surrounding the themes of how being from such diverse cities still allows us to feel as though we are not reflected in society too.

    Here are a list of organisations and support networks for the issues that were raised during this week's episode:

    • UK Black Pride is Europe's largest celebration for African, Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American and Caribbean-heritage LGBTQ people. https://www.ukblackpride.org.uk
    • Imman campaign for social justice to defeat the stigma, taboo and discrimination faced by many within the community and to give LGBTQI+ Muslims a voice and visibility to gain social acceptance and change. They organise community and educational workshops as well as safe spaces to meet and socialise with other LGBTQI+ Muslims. https://imaanlondon.wordpress.com/
    • Gaysians is an alliance of charities, support groups, meet-ups, activists and leading voices within the community. These groups have joined forces to improve access to resources and services to the South Asian LGBT community, as well as to elevate their collective voice in mainstream media. https://www.gaysians.org/
