In this episode, I switch up the format a little, as my wonderful friend, Abdullah Mushtaq (he/him) co-hosts this episode with me. Together, we interview Leah (she/her), an activist with strong roots organizing within communities and labour unions, both in Canada and the United States. We spoke about her earliest memories of social (in)justice, the modern realities of unions, trying to balance negotiating contracts vs campaigning for broader equity, and the process of unlearning the idea that it’s lazy to rest your mind and body.

As you'll hear, Leah is an all around awesome human being and I'm so so grateful she joined us for this important conversation!  Enjoy!

I loved having Abdullah as my co-host for this episode. He brights a rich perspective and lived experience that’s different to mine, and I truly think he makes the podcast even better. If you think Abdullah should co-host future episodes with me, let me know. I'm already sold.
