Let's Talk About the Hijab Ban, Colorism, and Criminal Justice - with Fatimata Cham

On this week's episode, I sat down with Fatimata Cham to talk about a few different topics that Fatimata wrote about in her poetry. We talked about the hijab ban in France, colorism, and criminal justice in a slightly different way than normally done on these episodes! As mentioned, Fatimata is a poet, and on each of these topics, she has written a poem on and we would discuss the topic before and after she had read her poetry on them. You can find the poems she read on this episode on The Melanin Sound Wave Instagram page to look back at them before or after listening to the episode! We talked throughout the episode about our own personal experiences with these topics, what it is we have learned through looking at news articles, and what has been produced in the media.

While talking about the recent hijab ban in France, I brought up an article that clearly talked about what exactly the ban entails. If you want to check it out, here is the link!
