The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op has a new executive director starting in June and its Masuma Khan. You may know her from her years of community activism and advocacy or by the musical name, General Khan. She spoke with host Jeff Douglas about her goals for the theatre moving forward.

Four years ago, Masuma Khan was threatened with disciplinary action for doubling down on Dalhousie Student Union's decision not to participate in Canada Day. We find out what she's feeling now.

General Khan is a local artist and community organizer, born and raised in Kjipuktuk, Mi'kma'ki (Halifax, Nova Scotia). For General Khan, poetry is an expression that is tied to her cultural practice as a Pashtun woman. She is currently working on her first album Wrath of Khan, to be released in Spring 2021. General Khan is currently the Center for Art Tapes (CFAT) artist in residence. Her art style is influenced by her lived experiences such as white supremacy, colonialism, displacement, racism, islamophobia disability justice, and more. https://www.instagram.com/iamgeneralkhan/ (Check her out @iamgeneralkhan) Support this podcast

What are the limits of our narrative? How can stories lead us into blank spaces and the unknown? I interview Giller Prize winner Johanna Skibsrud and celebrated east coast writers Carol Bruneau and Nicola Davison about the transformative potential of story and the challenges of writing what is unsaid and unknown.   Johanna Skibsrud is a Giller Prize-winning writer and professor at the University of Arizona. Her latest novel, Island, explores imperial and colonial histories via the modern existence of "black sites." The story follows two women over a single day on a small island that is about to burst into revolution.   Carol Bruneau is an acclaimed Nova Scotia writer and the author of eight books. While writing her latest novel, A Circle on the Surface, Carol mentored debut novelist, Nicola Davison through the writing of her first book, In the Wake under the Writer's Federation of Nova Scotia's Alistair MacLeod Writing Mentorship program. Both books would go on to win awards at the 2019 Atlantic Book Awards.   Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this Episode where I speak with best-selling writer and scholar Jesse Thistle, community organizer Masuma Khan, and fashion writer Musemo Handahu.   Get more details for each episode at www.hyacinthpodcast.com and follow @hyacinthpodcast on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

What if telling your story could endanger your life ... but also possibly save it? I interview best-selling author and scholar Jesse Thistle, community organizer Masuma Khan, and fashion writer Musemo Handahu about the powers and dangers of storytelling.   Jesse Thistle went from living on the street and suffering with addictions to being an award-winning scholar and Assistant Professor at York University. He shares his remarkable story in his new memoir, From the Ashes, which has been on best-sellers lists for months.   Masuma Khan is a committed community organizer who made international headlines while she was a student at Dalhousie University. She has had to reclaim her story in the face of hate speech, death threats, and skewed media coverage.   Musemo Handahu, better known as @misslionhuner online, is a fashion writer and influencer breaking new ground in fashion and marketing. Her unique style and authentic storytelling has helped her reach audiences across digital spaces.

On the very first episode of "From the Margins", I thought that we would start with a discussion on intersectionality. I had the chance to sit down with K'jipuktuk's own social justice activist and overall superstar Masuma Khan to talk about what intersectionality is, what it isn't, and how we can work together in solidarity and build healthier communities of care.

Quebec passes a racist law. A bunch of media outlets ran a story that used video manipulation and questionable translation to make it look like an imam was calling for the slaughter of Jews. After he lost his job, his reputation was ruined and there were hateful protests at his mosque, Toronto Star --who ran the original story-- exposed the dangerous flaws of the early reporting. Student leader Masuma Khan faced censure from Dalhousie University for a vulgar, anti-Canada 150 Facebook post and some of the usual free speech purists are conspicuously silent. And we address listener questions about a weird story in Fast Company about Casper and the online mattress industry. Massey journalism fellow Naheed Mustafa co-hosts.
