Hello! Welcome to Deprivation Discourse, a podcast empowering young people's voices on poverty. On this episode, I talk a little bit about my history of campaigning in the Commonwealth, the EU and parliament, what my research into poverty is all about and who on earth I think I am bringing up poverty in 2019. This episode sets the scene for the rest of the series where I talk to community leaders, young people, police, professors and so many others about how we can empower marginalised voices in the UK today.
