The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati
On July 1, 2026 By MPAC
A lack of cultural and gender representation can completely break the legal process for vulnerable individuals. In this special edition of The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, guest host Lorraine Ali and UK Member of Parliament Naz Shah dissect how deep layers of misunderstanding led to her mother's wrongful murder conviction. Forcing institutions to recognize these systemic blind spots and building reflective leadership is exactly why the team at MPAC fights for legislative and narrative change every single day.
