Stewart is a human and animal rights activist based in New York. He is a writer, poet and published author of three books (Kayla the Vegan, Liberation Summer & There's Beauty In The Darkness). In this episode we discuss what role art plays in our lives, how young people can teach compassion, veganism, the experience of being Black and working class in Brooklyn and the parallels between human and nonhuman oppression.

...more July 08, 2020001 Power & Privilege This is episode one, Power & Privilege, where I talk with Nahël. Nahël is a nonbinary, trans, queer, pro-intersectionality activist based in Scotland. They were born in France to a Tunisian father and a French mother and grew up immersed in both parts of their heritage. Their main focus in activism is decolonisation, radical healing, self-care and the power of self-determination within the context of a capitalistic, inherently oppressive society. They are interested in transformative justice, anarchism, prison and police abolition and helping to reunite their Afrikan culture and heritage with queerness. They are a graphic artist and want to work in animation in the future.In this episode we discuss how Power & Privilege relate to Nahel as a queer, mixed race person, the education system, art, how marginalised people can take back the power denied to us by colonialism and much more.
