At time of recording, Parul has raised £1000 of a £9500 target for this project.(We'd really appreciate it if you could donate to her project, so please check it out!)For further information, please check out Parul's work:Our Ancestral Futures (Instagram)You can find her here:Parulbee (Twitter)Parulbee (Instagram)Poetic Technology (Substack)*****You can visit us at: https://sikhforgiveness.com/ for more information about who we are, what we do and the projects we're involved in.We have a Youtube Channel you can also subscribe to hereYou can donate to us at: https://ko-fi.com/sikhforgiveness for the price of a cup of coffee (£3).All donations will be used to fund future Sikh Forgiveness projects.Please subscribe to the podcast, and in the future, leave a review in iTunes/ Apple Podcast if you can.CreditsPodcast music: Jaspreet TeharaMastered by: Simran Kaur
