Podcasts about zohra moosa

In the thirty-first episode, Emily Collins-Ellis and Rachel Stephenson Sheff speak with zohra moosa - Executive Director of Mama Cash - about all things related to feminism, fundraising and activism. In 1983, Mama Cash became the first international women’s fund; what began as a small-scale - but incredibly visionary - initiative of five lesbian feminists around a kitchen table in Amsterdam, has since grown into one of the largest public funds that supports the rights of women, girls, trans people and intersex people around the world. Their slogan “Because Feminist Activism Works” says it all - Mama Cash mobilises resources from individuals and institutions, and makes grants to self-led, feminist organisations around the world. Mama Cash also helps to build the partnerships and networks needed to successfully defend and advance their rights. zohra is a passionate feminist activist who has been working with Mama Cash since 2013, and she is also the co-host of Mama Cash’s brilliant podcast, Tea With Mama Cash, which we highly recommend. She shares so much brilliant advice on this episode, and it must be said - gives the best answer to the ultimate speed round question: Beyoncé or Destiny's Child?

As our Executive Director Zohra Moosa notes, a lot of her job is about trying to get people to become feminists; to practice feminism. But what does it actually mean when everyone starts calling themselves feminists? As she asks: “Am I hugely persuasive, or is this a disaster?” In the third episode of Tea with Mama Cash, hosts Zohra Moosa and Director of Programmes Happy Mwende Kinyili talk global solidarity in relation to the rise of pop feminism. How global is this trend really? And what effects is it having (or not) for feminist activists in different contexts? Do you think that the more people call themselves feminists, the better? Or do you agree with Happy, who says calling yourself a feminist “means you have to do thing in a certain way, you have to make decisions in a certain way, you have to be about fundamentally shifting power”?

In the second episode of Tea with Mama Cash, hosts Zohra Moosa and Happy Mwende Kinyili tackle the million-dollar question: will the revolution be funded? Zohra and Happy explore the ways activists can engage with money from a feminist perspective, including Mama Cash’s origin story. Is money a tool for creating lasting, transformational social change, or will it always be the master’s tool?

This week, we bring you our conversation with Zohra Moosa, the Executive Director of Mama Cash, an organization that supports the financial prospects of women, girls, trans and intersex people around the world who fight for their human rights. Mama Cash was conceived around a kitchen table in Amsterdam in 1983. Since then, they have grown from a group of five feminist activists into an international fund that supports women’s, girls’ and trans people’s movements around the world. As a brown, queer, Desi migrant, Zohra talks to us about intersectional feminism and the work she does with Mama Cash to support feminist causes around the world.
