  • #155 The Sacredness of Anger and Uprising
    Jul 8 2024

    What is it to hold the heartbreak of facing a world of systemic injustice, and turn it into energy and meanignful action?

    We're joined by Inez, a radio broadcaster on 3CR's Thursday Breakfast, community organiser and mental health worker. An intimate chat on navigating hurt and anger of dealing with systemic injustice, processing the recent Indian election and its impact, and how a solidarity with Falasteen has nurtured a retuning to their Sikh faith.

    In this spirit, Inez has shared some foundational texts and further reading - "these thoughts and sentiments follow a long lineage of radical Black, Indigenous, and/or Muslim female writers, organisers, and revolutionaries - long before me"
