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. She started up this amazing organisation in lieu of 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 the question of 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:

  • How the subject of diversity and inclusion is not the sole responsibility of politicians, but that of everyone, across all communities.
  • The challenge of reflecting upon what ‘belonging’ means to your personally.
  • That people are the experts in their own lives and that allowing them the space to be heard, regardless of what they have to say, is beneficial to the conversation.
  • The realisation that we’re all still learning and that it’s okay to fail. If you can’t be kind to yourself, how can you be kind to others?
