What does it actually mean to create real cultural change?  In this eye-opening and honest conversation, Winnie sits down with journalist and podcast creator Soaliha Iqbal to explore the intersections of politics, feminism, media trends, and anti-capitalism in a colonial world.  Soaliha shares how her lived experience as a Muslim women in Australian has defined her voice within the Australian media landscape, using her platform to unpack the social, cultural, and political structures that shape our everyday lives.  She reflects on the discomfort many people feel when talking about race, diversity, and inclusion, and why, instead of letting fear of “getting it wrong” hold us back, we should approach these conversations with honesty, courage, and a collaborative spirit.  This episode was recorded in August 2025   Read transcript here            Check out our webpage for more information     Follow us on Instagram and Facebook        Recommendations   Soaliha Website  Soaliha Instagram  Soaliha Substack  References   Here’s The Thing Tho  Mitch Price  Here’s The Thing Tho: Unsafe Vs Uncomfortable  World Association of Sexual Health Congress  Kai Schweizer  Brave spaces  Australian Child Maltreatment Study, 2023  Understanding the Transgender Lived Experience with Transhub  George Floyd Protests: A Timeline  Black Lives Matter  Say Their Names: Michael Brown  Ethical Consent & Empowering Young People with Laura Crozier  Translations by Jumaana Abdu  Jumaana Abdu  Learned Behaviors by Zeynab Gamieldien  Zeynab Gamieldien  What We’re Reading Caddyshack Project  Credits      Host: Winnie Adamson  Guest: Soaliha Iqbal   Producers: Maddy Stratten & Winnie Adamson   Editing: Winnie Adamson   Music: Little Pastries Instrumental (descript)      NSW Health social media community guidelines
