This week we sat down with the incredible award winning poet, activist and, of course, cultural misfit, Amal Kassir. This conversation took us back to the essence of humanity and what it may need to survive. From approaching racists, as minorities, with openness and contemplating what causes evil to grow in a person, to discussing the language of emotion and Amal's experience of the Syrian revolution as a member of the Syrian diaspora, we sure kept our promise to delve deep.

Trigger warning: there are discussions of war, violence, and rape in this episode.

Continue the conversation with us on Instagram and Tiktok @CultureMocktail, where we're waiting to hear your perspective! We have launched a video element of our podcast too, so if you'd like to watch, head to our YouTube channel. Please also be sure to leave us a rating and review, as it really helps us out and we'd really appreciate it!

See you back here in a fortnight, misfits!
