Episode 14: Addressing Anti-Black Racism in MENA Communities

In this episode, we discuss systemic racism, how it crops up in MENA communities, and how we should address it. We discuss why and how Anti-Blackness is pervasive in MENA communities, how we can start important and difficult conversations with friends and family, and how we should show solidarity with the Black community in the fight for racial justice. We're joined by Nawal Rajeh, a community organizer and activist who co-founded and runs the non-profit By Peaceful Means, which works with youth in East Baltimore, MD around issues of peace and justice.    Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes Mo Ryan's article mentioned in the episode: Going Broke in Hollywood: TV's Overworked Assistants Reel From Pandemic Pay Cuts   We are a proud member of the Hard NOC podcast family.   Follow us on Twitter: @TheMiddleGeeks, @MaeAbdu, @swarzseawalker Subscribe to The Middle Geeks on Hard NOC Media
