About this listen

 The Voices on the Side podcast centers stories of marginalized identities as an antidote to white supremacy. Our guests have a variety of backgrounds. Some are thought leaders actively focused on the fight for collective liberation while others share stories rooted in their personal history. As people of the global majority, we all resist oppression through our insistence to live, create, and be seen and heard. We explore narratives to remind us of our shared humanity.Leah Kim Social Sciences

    Fariha is a Muslim queer Bangladeshi who is interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. Their work has pioneered a refreshing and renewed conversation about wellness, contemporary Islam, degrowth and queer identities.


    Fariha’s published works include books of poetry, a journal called Being In Your Body, and a novel named Like A Bird which was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR, Globe and Mail, Harper’s Bazaar, among many other accolades. Their first work of non-fiction Who Is Wellness For? was released in 2022 and they’re currently working on multiple books.


    PLEASE NOTE: This episode comes with **content warnings** as we talk about sexual abuse, parental abuse, suicide, and related topics. Both Fariha and I share experiences of our childhoods which have compelled and inspired us to write. It is a deeply personal and emotional conversation which ultimately lands on hope, healing, and love.

    Welcome to the Writers Series on Voices on the Side!


    As part of celebrating my upcoming book - Mom, Unfiltered: Maternal Mental Health and Finding Freedom through Motherhood - I'll be focusing the podcast on conversations with fellow writers. From authors to essayists to journalists and professors, we are going to be talking about all things writing.


    In this first episode of the series, Joon Ae takes the position of host and interviewer and asks me about the book and how I became a writer.


    If you have a favorite writer you'd love to hear from or a specific question you're wondering about, leave it for me in the reviews (Apple) or comments (Spotify).
