Activism: a word thrown around a lot especially in the last few years, but what does it actually mean? Does it still carry the same power as it once did? How do we differentiate from change-makers and clout-chasers? In the final piece of the Beyond Borders series Binta Yade speaks to three community facilitators and social organisers across the black diaspora in Naarm and the UK to upend what we assume social change looks like, and the long legacies of organisation and solidarity across the black diaspora sometimes forgotten. 

We hear from Foundation For Young Australians community organiser Munira Yusuf-Jate and anti-racist, abolitionist organiser Reem Yehdego on approaching social change through a framework of healing, care and love. We then hear from an educational organiser from the UK and founder of Thinking Black, Hope Oloye on how she approaches transforming education systems from the inside out.
