<p>I’m Dale and in my episode, we’re going to GO THROUGH IT.</p><br><p>What does community mean to me?</p><br><p>Community is my circle. The collective of people I operate around most often. People who make me feel safe, loved... and that’s reciprocated. In this episode, I’m telling my story of being kicked out of home in London, and finding community with my Grandma, then with friends.</p><br><p>I also hear a painful story from Rad, and a loving conversation between Saaqib and Amar about being queer and Asian on Green Street in east London. Chase and Tokyo also celebrate their friendship, in a way that shows what community between Black queer people can mean.</p><br><p>If you’re aged 16-25 and experiencing homelessness of any kind, there’s a charity called <a href="https://centrepoint.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Centrepoint</a>.
