#10 - Female Genital Mutilation (ft Paige Nakiwu)
Happy International Women's Day/Month/Year/Forever! So this is one of Barnes's favourite episodes and illuminated taboos, not only because she changed her perspective on #FGM and how to tackle it, but because of the compassion of Paige helped her see that maybe her views before were incorrect. In this episode, we cover: 1) What is FGM? 2) Where is it happening? Does it happen in the West? 3) Is it cultural or religious? 4) How do we combat it in a culturally sensitive way? Hope you enjoyed this episode as much as us. As always, continue the conversation on our Instagram at @illuminatingtaboo and follow @paigenak_ for the important work she does in woman's reproductive health and women's rights.

#09 - "Toxic Positivity?"
What even is toxic positivity!? Are we just putting 'toxic' in front of everything we dislike? Or is there a rational basis for it? where's the balance to be met? Are smiley and positive people being labelled toxic to quash their light? These are all philosophical ponderances of Barnes & Boom in this episode of Illuminating Taboo. Not to be missed! Continue the conversation on our Instagram @illuminatingtaboo and help us lift taboos...
