Passing the Mic

Fariha Naqvi-Mohamed is the Editorial Director of CanadianMomEh.com and a spokesperson for the diverse face of Canadian moms. She is also a regular contributor to HuffPost Canada. In this video, Naqvi-Mohamed unpacks the notion of “being an ally” as the tangible practice of “passing the mic.” She shares that passing the mic is the empowered practice of creating uninterrupted and celebrated spaces for racialized peoples to lead their own narratives and share their experiences and knowledge. For Naqvi-Mohamed, being an ally means standing in solidarity against systemic racism, regardless of differences.
