Yassmin Abdel-Magied Unboxing | Talking About A Revolution & Loving Your Faith

Season 1, Ep. 378
•
Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a Sudanese-Australian writer, engineer and award-winning social advocate.


Whether through literary essays, educational tiktoks, or live television broadcasts, Yassmin is an assured and intelligent voice, analysing society’s systemic challenges, reframing established narratives and making complex ideas accessible to all.


Yassmin has published four books, written two plays and is currently developing a number of projects for screen. In non-fiction, Yassmin writes on politics, technology and culture, exploring how we can collectively build a more just world. In her fiction and scripted work, Yassmin enjoys examining rich, complex themes and centering Black Muslim women (with a healthy dose of humour!).


An award-winning speaker and globally sought-after advisor on issues at the intersections of race, gender and faith, Yassmin has delivered keynotes and workshops in 25 countries in Arabic, English and a smattering of French. She founded her first organisation, Youth Without Borders, at the age of 16, leading it for nine years before co-founding two other organisations focused on serving women of colour. Yassmin is currently a Trustee of the London Library and Stakeholder Committee Chair with the Black Writers Guild. Her TED talk has been viewed over 2.5 million times and recognised as one of TED’s top 10 ideas.

In all her work, Yassmin is an advocate for transformative justice and a fairer, safer world for all.

  • 513. Dr Sarah Hill Unboxing | The Hidden Dangers of Hormonal Birth Control Every Woman Needs To Know

    01:02:49
    Dr Sarah Hill was Born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin, she went on to earn her undergraduate degree in Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee (pronounced Mwah-kee, in case you want to sound like a local). It was at UWM that she was first exposed to research in human behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology. To make a long story short, it was love at first sight, and off to graduate school I went. I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin working with Dr. David Buss. I have an almost endless number of research interests, but tend to gravitate toward questions about relationships and health.
