SEE ME

Fifth Word’s ‘See Me’ Podcast is a weekly show that will provide you with an insight into the lives of some of the most inspirational Muslim women living in Nottingham. The original interviews were recorded on camera between February- March 2024 by Muslim girls aged 12-15. You can view the filmed interviews on each of the episode pages here, and in person at Nottingham Local Studies Library where they are archived for future generations to access. See Me celebrates inspiring women of Muslim heritage in Nottingham. Their stories, their voices, have been captured by the younger generation to be treasured. This project was part of Fifth Word’s ‘SEE ME’ living history project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, in partnership with Nottingham Libraries and supported by Nottingham Playhouse. All episodes are available for free on major listening platforms. Some interviews contain sensitive subject matter including references to violence and racism. This project has been supported by the National Lottery’s Heritage Fund. From influencers and artists to teachers and even a firefighter, each episode will feature an interview between a young creative of Muslim heritage, and an inspirational Muslim woman from Nottingham. This podcast is part of a living history project aimed at capturing the stories of Muslim women living in Nottingham today. You are invited to learn about how each of these remarkable women have overcome barriers in life to pursue their dreams and find their authentic purpose in life.The episodes are inspiring, honest and, at times, funny and infuriating as they explore what it feels like to be a Muslim woman today.
