S2. Episode 2: Challenging the Dominant Narrative with Salma El-Wardany

In episode 2, Rachael talks to Salma El-Wardany, TEDx speaker,
BBC Radio London host, business owner and poet, about her
experiences as a Muslim woman in the 21st century both in wider
society and in the workplace.


Salma discusses her experiences growing up in Newcastle, fighting
in the revolution during the Arab Spring in Cairo, working in the
corporate world in London, and starting her own marketing
business as a young Muslim woman. Salma stresses the importance
of not just giving lip service to diversity, but the need to do
something, to be constructive with our anger and challenge
dominant narratives that normalise prejudice and
discrimination.

do to impact lasting change and create more inclusive cultures.
