Power and Resistance in a gaslit nation

“If you want fascism to rise, you have to convince white working-class people that their suffering isn’t caused by the elite who strip them of resources — it’s because Black and brown people are here. Muslims are here. Don’t you know?”In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with multi-award-winning powerhouse Kelechi Okafor and expose the uncomfortable truths the British establishment doesn’t want to confront — from the strategic use of anti-Black propaganda to distract from class warfare, to the growing surveillance state targeting working-class and racialised communities.From the vilification of Diane Abbott to the state’s embrace of surveillance and Britain’s refusal to reckon with slavery reparations, we connect the dots between racism, authoritarianism, and the illusion of inclusion.In this episode, we unpack:🚹 Diane Abbott & the politics of silencing Black women🚹 Britain’s refusal to pay reparations (and who did get paid)🚹 Surveillance tech, the “Brit Card” & the creep of fascism🚹 The class con driving division in the UK🚹 What it takes to build real resistance & trustThis isn't just about racism. It’s about how the power protects itself — and how we can fight back.🎧 Subscribe and listen wherever you get your podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 💬 Join the conversation — we need it now more than ever.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #KelechiOkafor #DianeAbbott #AntiBlackRacism #UKPolitics #SurveillanceState #ReparationsNow #Fascism #WhiteSupremacy #BritainRacism #SolidarityNotSilence #BlackVoicesMatter #TrustEachOtherAUDIO CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Kelechi OkaforSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadĂšge BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Peter ZacaroliAn MPWR Productions show.đŸŽ„ Click to watch.

Why is anti-Muslim hate on the rise, and who’s cashing in?

In this hard-hitting episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with Sudanese Australian, award-winning writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied to tackle the intersection of identity politics, the surge of white nationalism, and the skyrocketing Islamophobia sweeping the UK. From record hate crimes to a complicit government and media, we uncover the dangerous forces at play.We also take a deep dive into the war in Sudan — “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” — and ask: Who’s truly forgotten Sudan? Spoiler: it wasn’t us. We expose the global interests behind the violence — from gold to EU migration deals — and how everyday items like “Gum Arabic (E414)” are fuelling this war economy.In this episode, we expose:🛑 Islamophobia in the UK: A Manufactured Threat🛑 The Rise of White Nationalism🛑 The Threat of Authoritarianism🛑 Who Forgot Sudan? 🛑 Gum Arabic, Gold & War Profiteering🛑 Why Sudan Matters to All of UsThis episode isn’t just about policy — it’s about power, propaganda, and who gets left behind. 👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMyriamFrancois1🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Yassmin Abdel-Magied Senior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadùge BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Max Bubnov#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #Islamophobia #Sudan #WarCrimes #BritishMedia #MediaComplicity #GlobalSouth #TruthToPower #WhiteNationalism #SudanCrisis #GoldAndConflict #HumanitarianCrisis #GlobalInjusticehttps://www.patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabkrbubUPKErSGVFGL5bzjQytkb9HanzeLQBUi8U-mU6g5aVSTqE5ej7sQ_aem_SO9ihK10zUz3TdyPOD2ngADisclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.

Genocide for sale & the death of mainstream media!

In this unflinching episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to confront the media’s complicity in power — and the price of telling the truth.From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposĂ© on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder.We go far beyond headlines to expose:🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents 🛑 How are Gaza journalists exploited by Western outlets?🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative?🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants🛑 The collapse of international lawThis episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines. This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #GazaGenocide #FrancescaAlbanese #AlbaneseReport #Palestine #TechAndViolence #SurveillanceCapitalism #ArmsTrade #InternationalLaw #WarEconomy #CorporateComplicity #TruthToPowerCREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Senior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadĂšge BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.đŸŽ„ Click to watch.

The World is a Joke!

In this razor-sharp episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with comedian and political fire-starter Bassem Youssef to unpack the surreal state of power and resistance.Bassem is a former surgeon who swapped scalpels for satire. Dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab world”, Bassem brings his no-holds-barred analysis to questions that many fear to ask — about complicity, distraction, and how the elite keep uprisings in check.From the fallout of the Epstein files to the IDF’s social media storms, we ask:Who’s running the show — and how does humour disrupt their script?Together, we explore the thin line between laughter and dissent — and whether satire still has teeth in an age of spin.🛑 Who gets exposed and who gets protected in the Epstein saga?🛑 What the IDF’s TikTok game tells us🛑 Is comedy still a weapon against power or part of the circus?🛑 Why is Superman making Zionists mad?🛑 Why global uprisings are so easily crushed🛑 The elite playbook: distraction, division, dominationThis isn’t just laughs – because truth rarely sits easily.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations.🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#BassemYoussef #PoliticalComedy #PowerAndResistance #Gaza #Palestine#IDF #Israel #HumorAndPolitics #ComedyAsResistance #EpsteinFiles #Trump #MAGA #Superman #SupermanMovie #Hollywood #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancoisPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Bassem YoussefProducer: NadĂšge BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearcher: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.đŸŽ„ Click to watch.

From surviving war in Lebanon to challenging fast fashion brands, CĂ©line brings lived experience to the table in a way that few can.Together, we unpack whether digital platforms can truly foster revolution, what the consequences of elitism are in activist spaces, and how we can imagine a liberation that is truly shared at a time when even the idea of “collective” is up for debate.🛑 What does collective liberation mean in a digital age?🛑 The criminalisation of dissent🛑 Fashion brands and genocide🛑 Are we building movements — or feeding the algorithm?🛑 How do we navigate contradictions in activism🛑 Anti-intellectualism and fascismThis is more than a conversation, it’s a call to action to move from slogans to substance.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations.🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTea #CĂ©lineSemaan #CollectiveLiberation #MyriamFrancois #SlowFactory #DigitalActivism #FreePalestine #PoliticalEducation #ClimateJustice #ClimateCrisis #Decolonize #Gaza #FastFashion #ElitismPresenter, Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: CĂ©line SemaanSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadĂšge BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsResearcher: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.đŸŽ„ Click to watch.

Glastonbury 2025 made headlines for more than just the music — and in this unfiltered second episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we dive into the political firestorm that shook the festival to its core.Joining the conversation is Jordan Stephens — musician, writer, and one half of Rizzle Kicks — fresh off his first Glasto performance in nine years.Together, we unpack why Palestine resonates so deeply with festivalgoers, what it means to be an artist in a time of protest and political pressure, and how music remains a powerful tool of resistance.Jordan, who recently published his memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak, and Dogs, also opens up about mental health, ADHD, heartbreak, as well as the emotional weight of navigating masculinity in a world that often fails young men, especially young Black men.🛑 Glastonbury 2025 unpacked🛑 What is the role of artists in politically charged times🛑 The lineage of pain that underlies being a black man🛑 Why is so difficult to be a man🛑 Living with ADHDThis is a conversation about art, identity, and resistance — and what it means to speak your truth when the world would rather you stay silent.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTea #JordanStephens #Glastonbury2025 #Kneecap #Gaza #PalestineAction #UKPolitics #RizzleKicks #MiriamFrancois #NonToxicMasculinity #ADHD #MusicAndActivism #Avoidance Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Jordan StephensSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: NadĂšge BizimunguResearchers: Poppy Jacobs and Lina Adams Video Editor: Max Bubnov An MPWR Productions show. đŸŽ„ Click to watch.

“People Have the Power to Stop the Siege”

Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François launches today with a heart-wrenching conversation featuring Palestinian writer Ahmed Alnaouq, co-editor of We Are Not Numbers, a groundbreaking anthology of personal stories from young Palestinians.In this powerful episode, Ahmed shares what it means to survive war, censorship, and unimaginable personal loss in Gaza. And makes a direct appeal to the world: “People have the power to stop the siege in Gaza”. Set against the backdrop of an ongoing genocide — where even seeking food can mean death — the conversation explores the meaning of resistance and what real solidarity requires. From the failures of the aid system to the urgency of global inaction, Ahmed challenges us to go beyond symbolic protest and scale up our action: sustained boycotts and relentless pressure on complicit institutions. 🛑 The death trap of the aid machine in Gaza🛑 Why Israel is arming ISIS affiliated gangs🛑 Palestinians have the right to armed resistance🛑 Why the two-state solution is not an option anymore 🛑 People have the power to stop the genocideThis episode is more than just a discussion. It's a call to conscience.

"Everything I Was Taught
 Was a Lie"

This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, journalist and critic of U.S. foreign policy Aaron MatĂ© joins us for a deep dive into Palestine, ‘Jewishness,’ and the media narratives around them. As a Jewish voice opposing Israel’s violence, he’s been dismissed and sidelined — but he’s not backing down.From the devastation in Gaza to the discourse in Washington, MatĂ© thoughtfully explores how identity can be instrumentalized, how definitions of antisemitism are being reshaped in politics, and why solidarity with Palestinians is not only compatible with Jewish identity — but essential to its integrity. đŸ›‘ Zionism vs. Judaism – What happens when a political project lays claim to a religious identity?🛑 Hasbara 2.0 – Israel’s PR machine and the manufacturing of moral consent.🛑 Gaza and Genocide – Is the world finally waking up to reality?🛑 Jewish Identity Under Siege – What happens when dissenting Jews are cast out? This episode is a deep dive into the identity politics of empire — and the people refusing to be used by it.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AaronMate #Palestine #JewishVoicesForPeace #GazaUnderAttack #ProjectEsther #IsraelPalestine #MediaPropaganda #Hasbara #USForeignPolicy #DecolonizeNarrativesPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Aaron MatĂ©Senior Producer: NadĂšge BizimunguResearcher: Yasmin MeddourAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.đŸŽ„ Click to watch.
