On Route Podcast Abida

In this episode I am joined by my dear friends Marie and Patrisha. I met them both during our time at sixth form where we’d often sit down together and have candid conversations like this one.

You’ll hear us reflecting on our experiences of being people of colour (some important points on otherisation within the POC community), migrating to the UK at different points in our childhood, appreciating the impact of valuable friendships on mental health and so much more.

Grab yourself a hot drink (or a cold one if you prefer) and join our chat!

In this episode I am joined by Anesa and Athena - two young Muslim & Bengali women in London - who are breaking ceilings by being pioneers in the sporting world for people of this background.

We discuss a variety of topics ranging from how they got started on their sporting journey, maintenance and tips on how others can achieve this too. We also discuss the importance of balancing nutrition to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
