Mus- Brummies United Against Racism and Hate Crime

In March 2022, just as things were getting back to normal post Covid in Birmingham, some hateful racist literature was being distributed across the city. For Mus this was all of the racist bullying of her childhood raising its ugly face again, this time by a group called The Patriotic Alternative. Mus nervously reached out to her predominantly white neighbours through the WhatsApp group, and to her immense relief she realised that they were as disgusted as she was about this spreading of hate. A few conversations later, this community came together and quickly removed the oxygen from the haters and started the group Brummies United Against Racism and Hate Crime. On the podcast Mus shares the heartbreaking stories of racism experienced throughout her life, the impact that these have had on her, how it has shaped her career and in particular how the work of Brummies United has evolved. Unfortunately, fear of others is a currency that some politicians prey on and we also spoke about the rise of Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in the UK.
