    In our very first episode, host Ben sits down with Ciara Alleyne, Membership and Inclusion Officer for the Young Greens, the official youth wing of the Green Party of England and Wales. Ciara, a third-year BSc Politics student at the London School of Economics (LSE), shares her insights on the power of young voices in politics, the importance of social mobility, and how young people can drive change. As an individual from a traditionally underrepresented background, Ciara is passionate about social justice, empowering marginalised groups, and the intersectionality of political issues.

    • Social Justice and Social Mobility: Ciara’s dedication to empowering marginalised communities through politics and how young changemakers can influence these movements.

    Ben, a neurodivergent second-generation immigrant from the Philippines, brings his unique perspective to the conversation. His experiences in the care system, along with his artistic practice, deeply influence his work in raising awareness and creating positive change. A strong advocate for the creative arts as a tool for recovery and mental health awareness, Ben uses spoken word and poetry to inspire and uplift others.
