35 - Amina Atiq
Our guest today is the Scouse-Yemeni poet and performance artist, Amina Atiq. She’s a talented, imaginative, and eloquent poet, creative practitioner & award-winning community activist. She was an ABBC Words First Finalist in 2019 & alumni of the young associate & anti-racism group Curious Minds. Amina deftly straddles the communities she considers herself a proud member of – as a scouser and the pride she has in her city of Liverpool, her faith and her connection to Yemen and the Yemeni diaspora in the North of England.
