Beats of Hope

When we published Seeds of Hope, our second book of poetry and creative writing at the end of 2020, we included eight carefully curated playlists — one for each chapter in the book. These are soundtracks for hope: songs that accompany stories of resistance, resilience and justice. Listen, enjoy and share them below.
