Women bear so many burdens and the mental load, or cognitive labour, is one of the many things that holds us back socially, economically, and emotionally. In this episode, we tackle the meaning of the mental load.

The mental load and its effects on women

Intersectional proletarianism, journalism, and leftism from a Master's graduate in Gender Studies, Nikita Ramkissoon. Raised in an anti-apartheid activist household, Nikita grew up with a love for human rights and good books. Being a survivor of childhood sexual assault, she developed bipolar disorder and wishes to debunk myths about mental illness and shed light on survivor issues through her writing. Some might call her a raging feminist ... and she is. Guided by bell hooks, Angela Davis, and other black feminists, Nikita wishes to uplift voices of women of colour in media spaces.
