If Poets Ruled the World: The Podcast is hosted by Ruth Elora (also known as The Mayfair Poet) and Salma the Poet.
Each month, we explore a different theme and ask one radical question: What would it look like if poets ruled it?
Through honest conversation, cultural critique and original poetry, we reimagine the world through a poetic lens. This month, we’re looking at what it means to grow up in Britain while being part of the diaspora.
In this episode of If Poets Ruled the World, Ruth Elora and Salma the Poet are joined by poet Kane to explore how growing up in the UK has shaped their identity and experiences. Through poetry and conversation, they share different anecdotes and key historical moments while reflecting on race, ethnicity and belonging.
They dive into examples of good and poor media representation, fragmentation in their own communities and how we can do better when it comes to discussing and approaching the topic of race in the UK.
