Thursday Jan 23, 2020
Thursday Jan 23, 2020
Raheem Mir is playing a key part in increasing the visibility of the LGBT South Asians in the UK. Utilising his talent in dance, he is at the forefront of “Gender Performance”, combining classic Indian dance with the subversion of gender norms.
Raheem flexes his knowledge of Indian culture, explores his own sexuality & experience (or lack of!), and talks about the wider reaction from the community to his loud + proud attitude.
A sassy, confident and truly unique individual Raheem is full of stories and punchlines. So much so Preet spent a good 20 minutes imploring him to try Stand Up.

Samosa Chats - Ep 17: Apneh in Football
Thursday Mar 05, 2020
Thursday Mar 05, 2020
This week we’re joined by Nav, Kiran and Pri the team behind Apneh in Football, who share their emotional journey of discovery and the positive effect football can have in some of the most vulnerable communities in India.
Nav (The Football Scientist) has built a career behind the scenes in elite football but his drive to carry out Sewa (selfless service) saw him enlist Kiran and Pri for a trip to YUWA school (Jharkhand, India). The lads share the relationships they built and the talent on display.
While Nav lead elite coaching sessions for the girls, Pri was busy interviewing and delving into the girls stories, and Kiran was there to capture the stills. Each of them utilised their talents, which will be displayed in a series of documentary episodes.
The lads have also come back with a goal. To raise enough money to build the school a state of the art 4G football pitch. A donation of just £3 will go a long way to that goal.
