Introducing Anjum Rahman
How can we create a country where everybody feels like they belong?
It's a powerful question and not one that can be answered in a simple sentence, but it’s the very question that’s at the heart of today's episode.
Anjum Rahman is the founder and project co-lead of the Inclusive Aotearoa Collective Tāhono. She started up this amazing organisation following the Christchurch mosque attacks, and here we delve deeper into that origin story.
We also talk about Inclusive Aotearoa’s approach to enabling change, called the constellations approach, and how you can host an effective conversation about something that’s deeply personal.
This conversation will leave you thinking differently about how we can create a country where everybody belongs - and how your own place in your own community can contribute to that.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
That diversity and inclusion are not the responsibility of politicians, but of everyone across all communities.
The challenge of reflecting upon what ‘belonging’ means to your personally.
How to create a safe environment for people to talk about intense personal topics and beliefs
What is the constellations approach to enabling change.
