Ahmed and Keren dig deep into voting. Who gets to be counted, and who doesn’t? Why should we bother to participate in a system that doesn’t represent us? And amidst a federal election (advanced polls open now!) and the civic election immediately after, what are the criteria to which we evaluate our candidates?

The host asks – How did we get here? What are our shared experiences? Where do we diverge? How have we found home and a sense of belonging in Edmonton?

The rise of gendered social movements such as #metoo, #timesup, and #muterkelly have sparked greater conversations in regards to the relationships between men and women, power dynamics, and what it means to hold ourselves and our communities accountable. We rarely come across the narratives of people of colour in regards to these movements. Join Maegan Robinson-Anagor in conversation with Maham Djinn and Fabrice Manzi as they discuss their perspectives as people of colour, how they fit within the popular discourse, and being in states of vulnerability.
