Maryam Pasha on Finding Your Voice and Building Inclusive Communities
“It's so important to bring everyone along with us, instead of seeing each other as competing. We all have different targets and are pushing in different ways. It's much more effective to support each other in our missions.”
Clover Hogan welcomes Maryam Pasha, a master storyteller and the mind behind TEDxLondon and XEquals, to 'Force of Nature'. Maryam's journey through the human rights and charity sectors has equipped her with the tools to help people tell their stories, especially those who feel like outsiders. This episode dives into how we can all find our voices and use them to build more inclusive communities.
From battling inner doubts to understanding the power of narratives, Clover and Maryam explore the key elements of effective storytelling. They discuss the rise of 'armchair experts', how to persuade anyone, and why society needs fresh stories now more than ever. Maryam also sheds light on dismantling the myth of meritocracy and why our current narratives often fall short. She talks about the pressures of standardized education and how it stifles creativity and dreams.
If you're looking for inspiration on how to tell your story or want to contribute to a more inclusive world, this conversation is packed with insights and practical advice.
