Caribbean Empowerment with Mohamed Q. Amin

Season 1, Episode 5,   Apr 11, 2018, 10:00 AM

This week, Priya chats with Indo-Caribbean activist and organizer, Mohamed Q. Amin, founder of The Caribbean Equality Project. The two open a dialogue about resonance between the South Asian and Caribbean communities. Mohamed shares how he founded CEP, and the important support, education, and empowerment work they do with Caribbean LGBTQ folks. Later, he shares his own coming out story, and the two acknowledge intergenerational and colonial traumas that bind our communities, especially when the violence we face is based in our queerness. Priya and Mohamed wrap up by addressing anti-blackness in South Asian and Caribbean communities and how to continue to build allyship across the diaspora.
