Messy Revolutions

With so much social unrest in the world, the ladies felt compelled to dedicate episode 46 of the Messy Truths Podcast to the subject of revolutions. From the anti-government protests in Iran, to the Black Lives Matter movement, the ladies dive into what a revolution really means and how rights for one group sometimes results in the diminishing of rights for others. Politics. Protests. Revolutions. It's all messy!

Azar kicks things off by providing an overview of how outrage over the detainment and killing of Jina Amini (Mahsa Amini) sparked the recent global protests against the government of Iran (3:05). Nesha explains what it means to be an activist and revolutionist (19:34) and that leads to the topic of discrimination in Canada. Mar touches briefly on Quebec's recent passing of Bill 21, which bans civil servants in Quebec from wearing religious symbols while working for the government (26:35).

Nesha speaks on how women's fashion and afrocentric hairstyles have been revolutionary (40:10). Azar then asks if there has really been significant change since the Black Lives Matter protests (42:27). Additionally, Mar shares why she is not always a supporter of using social media as a tool for protesting in western nations (1:02:40).

This episode is dedicated to Jina Amini, and so many others who have lost their lives unnecessarily to systemic oppression.
