Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara continue the journey into work when you're a Black, working class, neurospicey babe. How depending on the work you do, you can either be hyper-fixated and over-identified with it, like it is you rather than something that you do, or completely dissociated from it and alienated by it. They zone in on why joining a union is essential and building community, work and identity outside of capitalist work, can bre...

Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz, continue their conversation about the impacts of schooling, taking a deeper dive into the physical and verbal violence of racist teachers. From being grabbed, denied the right to go the toilet, police called on them for eating in a library (when white children are doing exactly the same) to gendered fatphobia from male teachers. Education for liberation remains the horizon.

Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz share their experiences of primary school.

From zero tolerance policies, adultification and repression of creativity, to daily detentions and being told to ‘just eat better’ when struggling and asking for support.

Undiagnosed dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD under Babylon's schooling system saw them labelled as ‘nasty’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘never going anywhere’. Lear...

Introducing Overlooked: a podcast about Black neurodiverse girlhood. Reflecting the experiences of your presenters Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara in school, work, relationships and life.

We're finding healing in sharing and in community that sees us and loves us as we are. We're the ones now, that we needed to hear when we were growing up. We hope that this podcast falls on the ears of those who most need it.
