Listen "Pass the Mic"
Episode Synopsis
Host Ica Headlam speaks with Talat Yaqoob, founder of Pass the Mic, about the gap between Scotland's progressive rhetoric and actual investment in change for communities of colour. They discuss creating your own spaces versus engaging with existing systems, the extractive nature of unpaid labour in media and activism, and how austerity has decimated the community centres and youth clubs that once anchored Black and Brown communities. Talat shares how Pass the Mic has grown from a desktop spreadsheet to a database of over 300 women of colour experts, and why sustained prioritisation matters more than reactive responses to trending moments.Visit Pass the Mic - https://passthemicscotland.org Hosted on Acast.
