Helen Explains - Invidious

Helen Explains

Literature on politics, social issues and current affairs, explained and summarised in bitesize chunks.

There are so many amazing resources on social issues but I realise it can be quite overwhelming if you're not a big reader and don't know where to start but you're keen to learn more.

This channel will talk about texts focusing on anti-racism, intersectional feminism and politics, along with poetry readings and some of my favourite novels.
