Welcome Back to ARM-OUR or OUR-ARM, the podcast from the Anti-Racist Movement (ARM). Giving can be powerful, restorative, and intentional and this episode explores how we reclaim our energy and connect more deeply to our shared humanity.

For this relaunch episode, we mark International Women’s Day with a powerful conversation inspired by the theme Give to Gain and the call to give again. Black women have always given, we give our care, labour, wisdom, leadership and for our community. Giving is deeply connected to our humanity; it is how we nurture, sustain and uplift one another. Yet too often that giving has been expected, unrecognised, or taken for granted.

In this episode, four women from ARM come together to reflect on what it means to give — not from exhaustion or obligation, but from a place of healing, intention, and collective strength. Through honest and unfiltered conversation, we explore how generosity, boundaries, and mutual care remind us that when giving is rooted in our shared humanity, it becomes a powerful force for restoration, dignity, and real change.

Heal boldly. Lead courageously. And never shrink your voice.

If this episode resonates with you, share it, comment, like, and subscribe — and help us keep the conversation going. Your voice matters, and together we can give and connect more deeply to our shared humanity.

Lots of Love,
