I offer a content warning as we explore themes of suicide and drug use. Racist and homophobic language are also used to depict some of Daniel's lived experience.We discuss everything from mental health, gender expression, racism in liberal friendships and toxic masculinity. We also explore our shared commitment to collective healing through anti-racism work. Daniel also led powerful protests in Bristol during the Black Lives Matter resurgence following the murder of George Floyd in summer 2020 and we talk about what that period of time was like for him, what has changed and what has stayed the same.  It's a deeply raw, honest and moving episode and I encourage those of you engaging in anti racism work to sit with any discomfort our conversation brings up.  To find out more about Daniel and his work and his podcast "Gender Unfiltered' you can follow him on instagram danieledmund and visit his site danieledmund.com  Links to the Black women and women of colour who have supported Daniel with collective healing including but not limited to: Maya Kalaria- mayakalaria.com  Josiane Smith - https://www.linkedin.com/in/josianesmith/ Rachel Edmund - www.instagram.com/rroselc Jennifer McGeever - https://www.instagram.com/j_wenghan/ In memory of George Floyd please visit: https://www.georgefloydmemorialfoundation.orgIf you are ready to do the inner work and learn to be actively anti racist please visit my website for further details about joining other change-makers on my online course: Becoming Anti-Racist with Nova Reid  https://novareid.com/services/anti-racism-course/ Don't forget if you learn something and these add value you can join my podcast community over on Patreon to support this work. https://www.patreon.com/novareid.If this podcast resonates with you, please leave a review.
