In this episode I speak to the amazing Emily King, founder of The C Word Mag: https://www.thecwordmag.co.uk/

Emily started The C Word Mag in May 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in the UK, result of boredom and a desire to create a space where female voices could be showcased and elevated.

We discuss the kind of articles featured on the site from female pleasure to what it’s like to be the only single woman in the room to FGM. Emily also reveals what the “C” word stands for (it’s not what you might be thinking!)

There are a few resources mentioned in the episode, links to which are below. You can also contact Emily if you’d like to be a contributor to the magazine. Just write to thecwordmag1@gmail.com. And if you’d like to contribute to the Crowdfunding appeal you can do so on The C Word Mag website itself or by following the link below.
