Host: Stella Saliari At Salt The Podcast my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms. It is a commitment. #Syria #saltthepodcast #SyrianRevolution #change #intersectionalfeminism #journalism #resistance #womenjournalists #sfjnetwork #10YearsOfFeministResistance #SolidarityWithSyria #freesyria #freedom #FeministJournalist #safety #protection #TheNetherlands #SyrianWomen #SyrianFeminism Visit my website at www.saltthepodcast.com Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/salt_thepodcast/ Subscribe to Salt The Podcast on Soundwise
