🇬🇧 Staying politically committed after activist burnout - with Jasmine TOUITOU | BAZ : Voices of Defiance

Description

In this episode, I welcome Jasmine Touitou, a mentor in storytelling and personal branding, whose journey has been profoundly shaped by her commitment to social causes. Jasmine was active in activist circles before stepping away due to burnout. Today, she remains deeply committed, but in her own way—by integrating her values into her business and daily life. She’s unafraid to be 100% herself in her work, and that’s exactly why I wanted to invite her.

What we discussed:

Her entry into activist spaces and the reasons she stepped away
The impact of activism on mental health and the need to refocus on care
How she transforms her business into a tool for advocacy without falling into performance
The importance of embracing contradictions while staying true to one’s values

What is BAZ: Voices of Defiance?

It’s the podcast of invisible voices revolutionizing the world.

I’m Shama, and I created this space to amplify the voices of minoritized entrepreneurs, artists, and creators who, despite the obstacles, dare to make themselves visible and impact the world.

Every other Tuesday, I invite you to discover stories of resistance and transformation through interviews and solo episodes. This podcast is for those who, like me, dream of challenging the status quo and using their voice as a tool for change. Together, let’s explore how our projects can contribute to a different world—because yes, the world needs us.
