The 3rd episode of Bolo Azadi features a joint interview with the amazing Vi and Nai who share powerful collaborative and individual spoken word pieces. In true QTIPOC style, we chat informally (while bumping into tables) about growling stomachs, being from a time when wars were fought with tea leaves and golden heat, colonialism and being Mixed, Indigenous, Metis, Trans*, Femme, Non-Binary and Jordanian. We also discuss things like: disrupting the white gaze, intersectionality, transmisogyny, privilege, not being enough and where we fit when the boxes are illusions. Mashallah indeed!
