In the first essay published by SCUM community, an online platform where we distribute critical thinking, discussions and explorations of modern life, we'd like to introduce Sarah Dario-Moi, better known for her podcast DM TALKS, which covers everything from Feminism to Astrology, in an attempt to promote wellness and healing, whether that be physically, spiritually or emotionally. As Sarah says, we all just want to be seen in our entirety.
Last year, Sarah graduated from The University of Manchester, completing the dissertation "Understandings and Experiences of Racial Microagressions" from the faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health.The textbook definition of racial microagressions is "brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group, particularly culturally marginalized groups." Through a series of interviews, Sarah explores how the small pool of literature, research, definitions and understandings surrounding microagressions effects the well-being and social navigation of people from different ethnic backgrounds.
