In this episode, we hear from Aisha, Maryam, Noah and Srishti – four young creatives who each explore their identity and mental health through spoken word, zines, video content and personal essays. They share what it means to be queer, Muslim, disabled, neurodivergent – and how those identities shape their lives, creativity and sense of self. From finding community online to confronting ableism and navigating mental health support, this conversation is honest, powerful and full of solidarity.
