July 05, 2021 Muslim Girls Fence: Re-imagining Care Ep5 "That radical sense of hope"
In our final episode of Re-imagining Care, we speak to poet and educator Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan, coaches Mercedes and Yvonne and participants from Muslim Girls Fence. We imagine and share our hopes for the future, what we’d like to see policy makers and decision makers do to make changes, the difficulties in imagining futures in the face of violence, but the importance of recognising how we’re already living and imagining different ways of being in the spaces we create away from white supremacy, racism and patriarchy.

June 28, 2021 Muslim Girls Fence: Re-imagining Care Ep4 "Celebrating the radically feminine"
In this episode, you hear from participants Zareen and Jenny, fencing coach Nadera, and Angelica Lindsey Ali aka The Village Auntie. They explore how the pandemic has impacted the support available for pregnant women and the pressures that have been put onto women playing multiple roles at home, the marginalisation of the feminine and motherhood, removing ourselves from the male gaze, and how to love ourselves in the midst of everything telling us not to. #Reclaimingthewayofourforemothers
