In our latest installment of the Emancipated Citizen Podcast, we engage in a thought-provoking dialogue with Jimmy Bangash, a trailblazing psychotherapist, activist, and representative of the Council of Ex Muslims of Great Britain. With a poignant blend of personal experience and professional expertise, Jimmy sheds light on the often overlooked struggles faced by ex-Muslims and LGBTQ+ individuals within Muslim societies. From navigating the intricacies of dual identities to confronting the harsh realities of ostracism and discrimination, Jimmy's insights offer a powerful testament to the resilience of marginalized communities. From the psychological toll of cultural norms to the urgent need for inclusive mental health support, Jimmy's expertise illuminates the path towards greater empathy and solidarity. Tune in as we delve into the depths of mental health discourse, and emerge with a renewed commitment to fostering compassion and acceptance in our communities.   Jimmy will be speaking on The Celebrating Dissent Conference 2024, this coming August.
