Description
What does it actually mean to create real cultural change?
In this eye-opening and honest conversation, Winnie sits down with journalist and podcast creator Soaliha Iqbal to explore the intersections of politics, feminism, media trends, and anti-capitalism in a colonial world.
Soaliha shares how her lived experience as a Muslim women in Australian has defined her voice within the Australian media landscape, using her platform to unpack the social, cultural, and political structures that shape our everyday lives.
