Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara continue the journey into work when you're a Black, working class, neurospicey babe. How depending on the work you do, you can either be hyper-fixated and over-identified with it, like it is you rather than something that you do, or completely dissociated from it and alienated by it. They zone in on why joining a union is essential and building community, work and identity outside of capitalist work, can breathe life into you and hold you, and let your mask fall. OVERLOOK...

Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara go deep into their experiences at work and the toll taken on their identities from constant masking. Navigating sensory overload, under-stimulation and exhaustion, as well as colleagues who see them as 'weird', too direct because of being so literal or and unreliable. How experiences of exclusion at school continue at work. The many short term jobs. The constant flux. They discuss the pros and cons of disclosing or not disclosing when it comes to their neurodiversity. OVE...

Heartwork with Elaine and Mumtaz unpacking internalised shame. The weight of masking neurodiversity under white supremacy and capitalism. As Black women we do not get to be fragile, we've never been able to be fragile. ADHD has become trivalised and glamourised on tiktok and insta, just when we started to stand in ourselves. From our bodies showing us patterns, to speaking out loud to regulate, we share tools we learned to navigate shame. OVERLOOKED Brought to you by Surviving Society Production...

Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz, continue their conversation about the impacts of schooling, taking a deeper dive into the physical and verbal violence of racist teachers. From being grabbed, denied the right to go the toilet, police called on them for eating in a library (when white children are doing exactly the same) to gendered fatphobia from male teachers. Education for liberation remains the horizon. OVERLOOKED Brought to you by Surviving Society Productions in collaboration with No More Exclusion...

Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz share their experiences of primary school. From zero tolerance policies, adultification and repression of creativity, to daily detentions and being told to ‘just eat better’ when struggling and asking for support. Undiagnosed dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD under Babylon's schooling system saw them labelled as ‘nasty’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘never going anywhere’. Learning to re-learn and re-love who they are is an ongoing journey. OVERLOOKED Brought to you by Surviving Society P...
