Amal Abdullahi

Hello Everybody!I am so grateful to all of you who have tuned into this episode. I truly learn so much from Amal every single time she speaks and I think now especially is a perfect time to open your hearts and minds to her story - a story that too many New Zealanders encounter due to the colour of their skin.You can find Amal's podcast Head Scarves and Good Yarns on Spotify and Instagram (@headscarvesngoodyarns). It's a wonderful way to educate yourself and diversify your white-centric media spaces.What I love about this episode is Amal's way of expressing her urge for us to create change and encourage diversity and representation in Aotearoa. Despite the anguish and trauma she has experienced in her life, Amal moves with love, compassion and patience. I am beyond humbled to have Amal as a friend & a now podcast guest. Please rate, review and tell us what you think!M Xx.
