- Culture et société
For the #20 episode of We Belong, we travel to Poland to meet Dr. Margaret Amaka Ohia-Nowak, a linguist, a human rights activist and a cross-cultural training facilitator.
As a critical discourse analyst, her research focuses on the manifestation of racism against black people in language and discourse.
Committed to contribute to a more inclusive society, she is president of “Word Idea”, a training company for promoting diversity, cross-cultural communication, combating racial discrimination, and the violation of human rights of people of African descent in Poland.
In conversation with Margaret, we discussed the representation of Black Polish people, the importance of understanding gaslighting and recognizing minorities’ lived experiences in countries where they are constantly alienated.
