Episode notes

Today’s guest is Dr Mahuya Kanjilal — a social researcher who basically turns listening into a superpower. She works with communities across the UK to make sure real people’s voices actually reach the rooms where decisions happen. She’s made films, built workshops, mentored researchers, and somehow still finds time to win awards and show up at the UN.

Trigger warning: this episode contains some discussion about domestic violence and violence against women.
