Queer Roots and Routes

by Aunt Nell

Queer Roots and Routes is made by a collective. We are queer. We are migrants or descended from migrants. And we want to tell our stories. Stories of where we’ve come from and how we move in the world today. We don’t have a boss or a Beyoncé. So each episode of this six-part first series of Queer Roots and Routes has a different host and a different set of voices from our group. Our promise to you is that our podcast is GORGEOUS, FIERCE, SUPERGAY and... REVOLUTIONARY! We all met through the MAUREEN project by The Love Tank, a not-for-profit community interest company that promotes health and wellbeing of under-served communities through education, capacity building and research.

  1. Love

    I’m Chase, a 28-year-old Black gay brudda from London, and I’m focusing on love.

    I’m Asad, I’m Muslim, 6 foot 2, I speak English, Urdu and Punjabi. I’m pretty hard to miss! My theme is: flipping the narrative.

    Hola! I’m Roberto and my episode is about re-invention... I had a good job in Mexico, but I needed a change. So I said BYE BITCHES and moved to London.

My life is a telenovela, and I’m trying to MAKE SENSE of it all. So for my episode of Queer Roots and...

  6. Belonging

    I’m José Carlos Mejia, I’m hosting this episode, and the theme is “belonging”. For a long time I was only in the UK temporarily, with a visa just for a year or two. I struggled for London to feel like home, and I still don’t find it easy. So for my episode of Queer Roots and Routes, I’ve picked...
