Thought Quest

In the final episode of our Latin Heritage Month series, we question whether #cancel culture and the term BAME are problematic.   

Our guests also share their opinions on the stereotypes of the Latin community in telenovelas and the impact this has on the sexualisation of people.

On this episode we bring to the table racism and colourism that still exist in the Latin community.   

Our guests share their personal experiences of hearing racist and prejudice comments made by others whether that's a stranger, friend or family member.   

We also touch on the history of colonialism in Latin countries, how this has influenced the notion of whiteness and the negative view this can lead to some people having of others.

We kick off with the first episode of our Latin Heritage Month series, by welcoming our amazing guests Diego, Pricilla, Jose and Jean to celebrate this occasion.  

This week's episode touches on what Latin Heritage Month means to us? Migration, family generations and the impact of being labelled as 'other' can have on our mental health and identity.

Kia is joined by Dilz to talk about Black History Month (BHM) in the UK, it's influence on Black identity and the world we live today. Kia and Dilz also discuss the progress that needs to be made, when it comes to the education system and as a community overall.

In this episode, we are bringing you something different!  As we explore hot topics, media headlines and relatable situations that we have discovered before and after Covid-19 lockdown. 

We are lucky to be joined by amazing entrepreneurs Reiss, Yesgurl (Francesca & Annette) and Alicia-Pearl. In the second episode of our Black Lives Matter series, our guests introduce their creative hustle, share their take on Black Pound Day and their experiences during lockdown.

We also touch on the importance of having multiple streams of income, why you should pursue your dream job, mentorship and the power of networking. 

Reiss, Yesgurl and Alicia-Pearl also mention their reasons as to why some Black businesses tend not to last longer than others and what we can do to ensure money continues to circulate within the Black community.

We are thrilled to present our second conversation around personal development, with our special guests Nadeem and Jag. We question the importance of knowing your true self, when it comes to your business/creative hustle.  

Nadeem and Jag also share wisdom on the measure of success, self-branding, the greatness of believing in yourself, how to get into stock & shares investment, where to start in your business and how to look for a practical business partner. Remember, there is nothing stopping you from creating what you love doing!  Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did with our amazing guests...

We are back with a fresh new episode on personal development! 

We are excited to be joined by Tre Lowe, Oris Ikomi and Kash Shah, who tell us their own journey with personal development. Including their own definition of success, the advice they would give to their 20 year-old self, the importance of mentorship and many more.

In this light-hearted episode, our three guests share some gems on what young people can do to best deal with their dilemmas. For instance, finance, dating life, people pleasing and what it means to be our true authentic self.

Personal development is sometimes overlooked or seen as 'uncool'. But here at Thought Quest, we hope you see the benefits it can have in your life as it did for ours.

For our second episode on Nutrition and Healthy lifestyles podcast, we look into organic products best suited for our face and body.   

This week we are still joined by our amazing guests, Paige, Flow and Karolina who share their favourite books, TV programmes and social influencers that helped them ease into plant-based diets.  

Through the laughs we also challenge our guests on what the future of veganism looks like. 

We hosted a zoom call, inviting our listeners to be part of the discussion on how Covid-19 is affecting our lives. From our reaction on the 'clap for the NHS', to jobs being put on hold and what we have discovered about ourselves being in quarantine. In this episode, we featured positive news across the world and top tips on what to do whilst in quarantine.  FYI this episode was recorded a week into lockdown, keep spreading positivity and love. 

On episode three we question is social media toxic? As topics include case studies on celebrity culture to online trolling and men's mental health. 

We are back with episode two, as we talk about the positive and negatives of the NHS, the importance of health checks at GPs and the impact people's comments have on our mental health.
