Joined by Dr Chantelle J Lewis , Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara. Reflect on season one of Overlooked OVERLOOKED Brought to you by Surviving Society Productions in collaboration with No More Exclusions. Presented by Elaine Mumtaz Sara Executively produced by Ewa Jasiewicz Edited by George Ofori-Addo
Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara continue the journey into work when you're a Black, working class, neurospicey babe. How depending on the work you do, you can either be hyper-fixated and over-identified with it, like it is you rather than something that you do, or completely dissociated from it and alienated by it. They zone in on why joining a union is essential and building community, work and identity…
Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara go deep into their experiences at work and the toll taken on their identities from constant masking.

Undiagnosed dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD under Babylon's schooling system saw them labelled as ‘nasty’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘never going anywhere’. Learning to…
Introducing Overlooked: a podcast about Black neurodiverse girlhood. Reflecting the experiences of your presenters Elaine, Mumtaz and Sara in school, work, relationships and life. We're finding healing in sharing and in community that sees us and loves us as we are. We're the ones now, that we needed to hear when we were growing up. We hope that this podcast falls on the ears of those who most…
