Hear Us Out - A Podcast Series Karishma

In our second episode, we are joined by Amal and Sabir (also known as un_spokensabir on instagram), where we discuss the struggles the black community face in the West, especially in the US and UK. We talk about police brutality, systemic racism, the #blacklivesmatter movement and the role of media in reinforcing various ideologies. Please follow our instagram @hearusout_podcast, where you will be able to leave us feedback and give us suggestions on topics you would like to us to discuss in the near future. 

Our first episode with Hosna and Asrah will be discussing the colourism and racism in South Asian and Arab communities. We will be delving into personal experiences and how people have been made to feel insecure and outsiders by their communities. We will also be discussing how media reinforces the idea that 'fairer skin is more beautiful', while medical companies exploit and capitalise on these ideologies, as well as touching on the lack of diversity in institutions such as the education sector. Finally, we discuss ways in which we can bring about change and combat the issues that pervade our societies today. Follow us on our Instagram: hearusout_podcast
