Here’s a throwback to 2021 when we produced Escape: The Underground Railroad Podcast!
This accompaniment to the @primevideo series The Underground Railroad by @bandrybarry tells the real stories of resistance and success in the fight against oppression.
Hosts @Miquitaoliver and @destheray uncover stories of rebellions, uprising, and escapes by enslaved peoples that don’t often get told.
In this clip from Episode 2 with Dr. Rebecca Hall, we hear the unheard stories of women-led slave revolts. Listen to the full series through the link in our bio, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here’s a throwback to our Growing Up with gal-dem podcast with Nigerian songwriter Bellah!
Bellah is a North London R&B singer-songwriter, who treats her words like the pages of her diary.
Nie and Natty sat down with her to talk about her musical journey, life experiences, self-expression, relationships, and healing.

AiAi Studios Founder and Executive Producer Aiwan recently spoke on a panel at BFI Flare 2024. Faith (In the Power of Love) was a panel discussion about representations of religion in LGBTQIA+ films.
Fimmaker, sound designer and composer Aiwan Obinyan, host Dr. Frankie Dytor, drag artist and actress Asifa Lahore, and film programmer/author Nir Cohen looked at representations of their different religious communities in the LGBTQIA+ films that have made an impact on them.
Listen to Aiwan talk about her conflict between two aspects of her identity - her faith and her sexuality. Are these two opposing forces, or can faith and queerness nurture one another? Are religion and faith the same thing?

Inspiring displays of community, poetry, music, dance, and speeches at the Ghana Embassy Protest.
We are deeply disturbed at the prospect of the proposed hate bill that would criminalise and erase LGBTQIA+ existence in Ghana. If passed, the proposed law would impose harsh sentences ranging from fines to forced conversion therapy and up to 10 years imprisonment for LGBTQIA+ Ghanaians. The bill would also criminalise their families, allies and human rights advocates working with the community in Ghana.
We are calling on our community to spread awareness and to help #KillTheBill - you can take action by using your platform. Sign the petition linked in our bio, share this to your page, protest, and tell the LGBTQIA+ people in your lives that you love and support them.
We are proud to have worked on this powerfully moving podcast with gal-dem in 2022. gal-dem approached AiAi Studios to help tell the story of domestic migrant workers from the Philippines, and to generate awareness that would help to create a fairer society.
Through this collaboration, we shed light on the oppressive employment conditions that many incredible Filipino women - who are mostly unrepresented by unions - suffer at the hands of their employers, both in the Philippines and the UK. It was a truly emotional recording session and was also the first time AiAi Studios had recorded and worked in Tagalog, one of the languages of the Philippines.
It was an honour to tell these stories, and formed part of a long-standing partnership between AiAi Studios and gal-dem. Have a listen to ‘Our Place Is Here: Personal Essays from Domestic Migrant Workers’ (link in bio).
Produced by AiAi Studios. Sound Design by AiAi Studios.
Recorded at @weareqube
In collaboration with @thevoiceofdomesticworkers @kanlungan_uk and @purpose
