As a Black, queer and trans person, social justice is more than just theory for me: it plays into every aspect of my life and how I move through the world. Unfortunately, intersectional perspectives are often not at the center of the conversations, leaving stories like mine at the margins.
As the name of this podcast implies, my goal is to highlight the voices of folks whose identities are also devalued in various capacities, with the goal of listening, understanding, and networking around our shared experiences. Grab a cup of tea and let's learn from one another.

4. Linguistic Insecurity (ft. Francesco MacAllister-Caruso)
This week on From the Margins, I am joined by Francesco MacAllister-Caruso, a community organizer and activist who is very present in the struggle for Francophone minority rights in Canada. We are discussing the idea of linguistic insecurity, or « insécurité linguistique » in French: the ways in which people are shamed for speaking their language, and the varying ways in which Francophones outside of Québec are pushed into situations which often lead to them losing their language.

3. Making Health and Social Services Trans Inclusive (ft. Gabriel Enxuga)
On this episode of From the Margins, I get to sit down with Gabriel Enxuga, BSW, RSWc from the Youth Project (and my partner, eep!) to discuss access to health and social services for trans folks in Canada. In their capacity as the support services coordinator at the Youth Project, a part of Gabriel’s work is focusing on how to create meaningful, substantive change in Nova Scotia in order to ensure the safety and well-being of trans and gender-diverse people.

2. Who is Missing from Pride? (ft. Nivie Singh)
On this episode of From the Margins, I am joined by Nivie Singh, an organizer with We Are Missing. Their work points out the integral need for intersectionality within contemporary pride movements in Canada. We got the opportunity to chat about their work, share our organizing experiences, and dream of a better world. We talk about harm reduction, righteous anger, and so much more.

1. Understanding Intersectionality (ft. Masuma Khan)
On the very first episode of "From the Margins", I thought that we would start with a discussion on intersectionality. I had the chance to sit down with K'jipuktuk's own social justice activist and overall superstar Masuma Khan to talk about what intersectionality is, what it isn't, and how we can work together in solidarity and build healthier communities of care.
