Conversation matters

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what about a researched podcast with guests and life advice?

Yes, we’re losing count too.

Our podcasts cover a wide range of topics, all centred on our four pillars: culture, inclusivity, sustainability and self-care.

The Quick + The Brave

The Quick + The Brave is an independent media platform based in Amsterdam built to represent, inspire and celebrate community. We share perspectives on culture, inclusivity, sustainability and self-care. Our mission is to bridge cultural gaps and create fertile ground for creative minds and lives to take root.

Welcome to the first episode of The Quinsy + Axmed Show on The Quick + The Brave.

Ahead of Keti Koti, hosts Quinsy Gario and Axmed Maxamed speak with one of an up and coming political voice in St Maarten, Solange Ludmila Duncan MP.

Our hosts talk with Ludmila about the importance of 1 July as a day of commemoration, decolonisation and the ways in which the Kingdom of the Netherlands relates to the repercussions of slavery and colonisation.

Plus Quinsy and Axmed get into their own mix of Q and As: Quotidian and Analog news, Asterisks (things that make you go ‘Hmmm?’) and Qualifieds (things that get the Quinsy + Axmed seal of approval).

A transcript of the show will be available soon at www.thequickandthebrave.com.
