In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Rima Berns-McGown.

Dr. Berns-McGown engages with the real challenges of doing anti-racism and equity work in a government system, the reification and personification of intersectional identities, transnational othering, anti-Black racism, antisemitism, and more.

Dr. Berns-McGown is a scholar, author of Muslims in the Diaspora: The Somali Communities of London and Toronto, a community voice, mentor, and former NDP MPP for Beaches-East York.
