Kazim Tug

What a joy speaking with Kazim! Here are a few of the themes from our conversation:Identity & Belonging: Navigating a "binary" Northern Irish upbringing as a mixed-race Muslim, and finding a sense of home within international cohorts.The Power of Unlearning: Shedding first impressions and biases while learning to balance high-octane social energy with necessary solitude.Reentry Realities: The jarring transition from global travels to 12-hour factory shifts, and the value of staying grounded.Optimism in Action: Using grassroots initiatives, like forming a diverse football team, as an antidote to political apathy and a catalyst for systemic change.In the episode we mention an article Kazim wrote about integrating schools in Northern Ireland.
