In this episode, I chat with Shahd, founder of Peace is the Song — a community-based event that brings people together to share their art through spoken word, music, poetry, and more. Shahd is a published poet and author using her platform to foster community, connection, and empowerment.

We discuss:

• The power of community and creative expression
• Knowing your self-worth
• Shahd’s journey from Palestine to the UK at age 18
• How she centres Palestinian voices in her events and poetry
• The importance of female empowerment and building connection
• Peace is the Song Event on 9th August! Get your tickets now before they go: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/peace-is-the-song-london-tickets-1465798666269

Shahd’s work demonstrates how art can heal, unite and create spaces for marginalised voices to be heard and valued.

Tune in to hear her inspiring story, and let us know what you think - your support helps keep these important conversations alive! :)
