My guest this week is Nimco Ali, activist, anti-FGM campaigner and author of What We’re Told Not to Talk About (But We’re Going to Anyway): Women’s Voices from East London to Ethiopia. A hugely important piece of writing, it contains interviews with women from across the world on their experience of periods, sex, menopause and more. Nimko has been a hero of mine for some time - she’s a fiercely independent thinker and a passionate advocate for women’s rights. We talk about her own experience of FGM, the failure of adults around her to help, lobbying politicians for change and more. I hope you find her as inspiring as I did.
