Description

In this conversation, we're joined by our guest, Sahibzada Mayed (they/them), where they discuss their journey as a first-generation immigrant and the complexities of navigating identity, land, and decolonization. They reflect on the importance of reconnecting with ancestry, unlearning sanitized histories, and the role of research in reclamation. The dialogue explores the nuances of cultural appropriation versus appreciation, the violence of colonization, and the need for resistance. Mayed emphasizes the significance of connecting across experiences to foster true solidarity and imagines new futures rooted in collective liberation.
