Pea tribe member Jamila Rizvi and her acquired disability through a brain tumor
Kate & Mandy are talking to Jamila Rizvi; author, editor, presenter, podcaster, political commentator and mum of Rafi. She describes herself as “pea adjacent” having an acquired disability. At the end of 2017 she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. She had 36 rounds of radiation and two brain surgeries, which has done damage in that area of her brain causing a range of issues broadly due to the fact that her pituitary gland doesn’t work. Jamila’s favourite music is from her best friend and musician Clare Bowditch Jamila’s latest book she edited with Helen McCabe is Untold Resilience, stories of courage survival and love, from women who have gone before. Her daily podcast is called The Briefing (hosted by Tom Tilley with regular rotating co-hosts Jan Fran, Annika Smethurst and Jamila). Now Jamila does The Weekend Briefing, with the episodes being released through The Briefing podcast.
