This week, Salim shares the mic with Rukshana as they co-host this episode of the TMV podcast. They speak to Dr Suriyah Bi, PhD, on the topic of equality, but from a new perspective. Dr Bi does share her stories on how she has been personally affected by discrimination, but she also shares with us the facts on the gap Muslims are trying to bridge from an academic point of view. Combining her life experiences with her line of research, Suriyah delves into the topic of inequality, touching on social mobility, islamophobia, positive discrimination and more. The discussion addresses how the minority communities play their roles as well, as Suriyah speaks on how she's found more support externally, and how she's, witnessed in some instances, a mentality that does not value education for women. The conversation takes us through many twists and turns as they begin to unpack the heavy subject that is equality and diversity, or a lack of, thereof.
