Eloping with the Truth
Eloping with the Truth
Anna and Joyce
In a changing world we, Joyce and Anna, question what it means to exist in a rapidly evolving and modern society. Each episode considers a variety of topical issues, perspectives, and the importance of sharing your narrative through interviews with inspirational and insightful people. We aim to uncover the power we all as individuals have to create change and pursue ambitious goals, discarding excuses like our age or current ability. We encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zones in favour of becoming the best versions of themselves.

3.1 Fashion: Ethics, Creating a brand and Personal health with Kaan
Ever wanted an insight in to the day to day life of a young adult busy changing the game and raising the standards of sustainability with their own business? Well join us for this episode where we interview Kaan Amjad, a london based fashion designer and creative director of his own fashion brand. In a time where it seems impossible to reconcile caring for social issues such as homelessness, waste and climate change with a passion for style and ambition in business, Kaan truly proves in this interview that a middle ground can be reached and that this challenge can inspire growth rather than despair. As always thanks for listening and feel free to share your opinion on our social media accounts:

2.4 Colourism from a male perspective
Last episode’s discussion on colourism  highlighted that experiencing it can vary based on gender as well as other geographical and social factors. So in order to gain more insight and a different perspective, we decided to continue this conversation with Tequane. Hopefully this is informative and supplements your understanding. Podcast insta: @elopingwiththetruth

2.3 Colourism from a female perspective
In this episode we discuss the topic of Colourism and its application in everyday life along with our experiences and opinions as teenagers. Whilst we all have a basic understanding of racism - Colourism is still a fairly new concept and topic of conversation such that this episode is not a conversation between experts but rather teenagers who like to have interesting discussions. We hope that our opinions will only add to helping you form your own.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/newsbeat-53395935https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-52470302https://www.ucpress.edu/blog/35992/in-brazil-plastic-surgery-is-about-power-not-culture/https://www.latinousa.org/2018/01/16/beyond-metoo-brazilian-women-rise-racism-sexism/
