Episode 5: Representation: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
CW: Discussion of body image and eating disorders, violence, stereotypes. Mentions of slavery and war.
After an impromptu hiatus, No More Wahala, Inshallah is back! This time we're here to chat about all things representation in the media. We unpack why it’s important to us and social structures more broadly, the reach Hollywood has, and the complexities of representation. We dish out some rare gems of good representation, and realise that “good” representation is not as clear cut as it seems. We highlight the many terrible tropes and narratives that exist about Africans, Black people, Arabs, and Muslims. So listen on to hear why we’re talking about lady parts, and a surprisingly good (non-racist) movie from the 80s!
