Step into a world where art meets activism as we chat with Freda Shafi, the extraordinary British South Asian artist, food writer, vlogger, and newly published author of 'Suitorland'. She shares her journey of personal evolution, standing tall against the winds of challenge and societal norms. Her novel pulls back the curtain on the lives of South Asian women growing up in West Yorkshire during the 70s, weaving a rich tapestry of community, culture, and the enduring influence of patriarchal systems. Freda's honesty and vulnerability shine as we discuss the mixed emotions that accompany creative expression and advocacy, showcasing the resilience embedded in giving voice to those often silenced.  Navigating the tides of change, we delve into the pressing topic of menopause awareness, spotlighting the complexities faced by women in different communities. Freda opens up about her own path to understanding this pivotal phase and the responsibility she now feels to illuminate this often-misunderstood experience. We dissect the critical role oestrogen plays in women's well-being and the empowering act of making informed choices regarding menopause treatment. The conversation extends to the significance of representation, celebrating the voices of ethnic minority clinicians who bring diversity and strength to the narrative of women's health.  If you don't already follow Freda on instagram then I recommend you start now @fredashafi_spiceitup, her passion for food is a visual treat and leaves you wanting to recreate her recipes as she inspires us to cook from scratch and eat a healthy balanced diet.  A delightful fusion of food, art, and sensory experiences emerges as we explore how my fine art background intertwines with a passion for culinary creation.  We round off by embracing the audacity to live authentically, and the courage to transcend boundaries. Join us for this enriching journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and the pursuit of unshackled freedom. Freda's candid conversation offers an inspirational look at how questioning the world around us can lead to profound strength and representation for those often left unheard.  Freda leaves us with an uplifting, inspirational message:  “To be free is to be ourselves without constraints.” About Freda Shafi Graduating with two degrees in Fine art, Freda Shafi has had a successful career in the creative sector, from being a lecturer, creative producer and for over twenty-five years she has worked with underrepresented and disenfranchised communities, helping to engage and raise their voices in mainstream cultural venues from theatre, opera north and art galleries. She still works with women from ethnic minority communities, because, as Freda says, "I feel I can meaningfully support them, as they still face some of the barriers and glass ceilings, that my own generation broke through." In addition to being a published author, Freda is a writer and food columnist for Yorkshire Business Woman and several other publications.

Author Percival Everett on his novel Dr No; Director Pravesh Kumar on his film Little English; the new Yeats Smartphones poetry trail in Bedford Award-winning US novelist Percival Everett on his surreal new book, Dr No – in which unlikely heroes and uber-wealthy super villains chase after a box containing absolutely nothing. Pravesh Kumar has been running a theatre company for over two decades and last year received an MBE in the New Year Honours List for services to theatre. As he makes his debut as a filmmaker with romantic comedy Little English - centred on a British South Asian family living in Slough - he discusses the importance of nuanced portrayals and overturning stereotypes. It's a century this year since W. B. Yeats won the Nobel Prize in literature for his poetry, ‘which…gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.' This is marked by a new guided, smartphone app trail around places where he lived and that influenced him early in life. It is narrated and with poems read by Oscar nominated actor Ciarán Hinds. But it is not, as you might assume, in Ireland. Front Row reports from the launch. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May (Picture of Percival Everett. Photographer credit: Nacho Goberna)

In this essay, Kiara Mohamed Amin and Priya Sharma explore the liberatory potential of psychedelic trips, arguing that such practices possess the potential to humanise parts of the self that have been dehumanised by capitalist systems of living.  Kiara Mohamed Amin is a trans, Somali multidisciplinary artist based in Toxteth, Liverpool. His work focuses on what it means to live at the intersections of marginalisation and still choose joy, healing and community as an act of radical living and dreaming. He uses different mediums to explore intergenerational trauma and looks to see where we are in eternity through astrology, somatic movements and divination. Priya Sharma is a Lecturer in Arts Management, Policy and Practice at the University of Manchester. Her research explores articulations of feminist and queer British South Asian identity on social media platforms. Her research interests include radical politics, diaspora experiences and the social impact of new media technologies. The authors' first co-authored publication 'Trip where you stand: Towards psychedelic liberation' will be published in July 2023 by Feminist Review.  This episode of ‘Anarchist Essays' was supported by a grant from The Lipman-Miliband Trust.

As Barcelona fail to make the Champions League knockout stages for the first time in 20 years Spanish football journalist Pete Jenson joins the pod to discuss the financial implications and whether it could be years before the club even qualify for the competition again. It was a night to remember for Robbie Savage's son Charlie, and Zidane Iqbal, who became Manchester United's first ever British South Asian player, with both coming on during United's 1-1 draw with Young Boys. Chelsea drew as well. They conceded in stoppage time to miss out on winning their group and Thomas Tuchel has some very interesting things to say afterwards including how his side's “behaviour changes when we take the lead”.

In this episode, Shabnum interviews British standup comedian and now book author Tez Ilyas about his book "The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3/4." Cycling through a variety of topics, Tez and Shabnum exchange childhood stories of growing up South Asian (Tez still can't believe Shabnum would use the word "rice" to describe what she's eating for dinner instead of "chawal"). Tez talks about racism in a post-Thatcher Britain, the after effects of 9/11 and the 7/7 attacks, and the effects of American politics on the world. They of course wrap up with more on Man Like Mobeen and the inspiration for the show. You won't want to miss this fun episode that touches on some very important topics about the British South Asian narrative from the hilarious Tez Ilyas! Host: Shabnum Gulati Guest: Tez Ilyas Music: AnAkkiN on SoundCloud

Sheetal Surti was born in to a British South Asian family in a small town in the East Midlands. Aged seven Sheetal noticed a white patch behind her ear. She didn't think much of it but soon more patches appeared and started to spread. She was diagnosed with vitiligo – a skin condition where unpigmented patches appear on different parts of the body. And so the treatments began. Some were medically advised, some were recommended by friends. Most of them were unpleasant, one in particular was horribly painful. But most importantly, for Sheetal, they didn't work. It was a lot for a girl going through puberty to handle and Sheetal's answer was to slap on a smile and ignore it. While she couldn't cover her patches, she became a master of covering up her feelings. Because of her appearance some people would ask if she had leprosy or skin cancer, others would tell her that she'd never get married or have a family. By 22 all of her skin had turned white. She no longer resembled the rest of her family. People would look at her quizzically when she told them her Indian name. After a while she would explain by telling them she was born in the 70s and her parents had gone through a hippie phase. She'd never talk openly about her vitiligo. Then, aged 35, Sheetal was watching a TV programme where people with vitiligo were talking about their condition. It was a turning point for her and the day she finally started to address her questions about belonging, her lost identity and the shame she'd buried for so many years. If you would like more information on vitiligo please visit www.nhs.uk

As a British South Asian herself, Kaiynath can relate very well to the troubles and hostility faced by the rest living in the UK. Kaiynath talks about the recent documentary she watched - 'Here Today, Here Tomorrow' and how it reflects the views of the South Asians living in Britain in the 1980s but also, the differences in views and opinions of the younger and elder generation, and how there are parallels between the era of the past and today. With personal stories of facing hostility and the stories collected by Kavita Puri for her series on BBC Radio 4 - '3 Pounds In My Pocket,' Kaiynath talks about the racism, hostility and dynamics faced by people of colour in the past years and recent events.  'Here Today, Here Tomorrow,' Zia Mohyeddin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPvpVHO_Jf0 'They came from south Asia to help rebuild Britain.

In today’s episode, I will be talking to my guests about growing up as third culture kid here in the UK. By third culture kid, I mean when your parents are from one land and you were born into another. We will be delving deep into how this impacts your life. For many of us growing up as second generation Asians, I would say that we lead a double life, one within the home environment and a very different one outside of the home. Because of the polarity between the two, the home life often got hidden from the world in order to survive. Having to deny such a huge part of your identity has come at a price for many of us South Asians and so in today’s episode I am joined by two amazing women and dear friends of mine, who are founders of a tech startup which looks to tackle some of these issues head on. Jas and Bally are the brains behind the digital app Rani Circle which aims to provide a safe space in which South Asian women can come together to connect, share and support each other. As a result, combating loneliness and isolation. The sister duo want to create a supportive environment in which women can feel a sense of belonging and be their authentic selves.

Polls conducted before the European referendum – and indeed some conducted afterwards – indicated that ethnic minority voters were more likely to vote Remain. However, there is data to suggest that the strength of euroscepticism within the British South Asian population was perhaps stronger than previously anticipated.A number of areas with large South Asian populations delivered Leave votes, including Luton (56.5% Leave), Hillingdon (56.4% Leave), Slough (54.3% Leave) and Bradford (54.2% Leave). All have South Asian populations of 25% and above. It’s not unreasonable to think that such Leave votes could not have been delivered without a significant number of Asian voters opting for Brexit.I speak to Voice4Change England director, Kunle Olulode on why he and some other minorities voted leave in the referendum.
