According to WeezeLiberation Doesn’t Exist Without Intersectionality w/ Terra AndersonIn this episode Terra and Weeze break down what’s required of each of us to ensure we’re moving toward collective liberation. A part of that is understanding how to work with our privileged and marginalized identities.

Relationship Coaching School PodcastRacism And What We Can Do To Dismantle It Right Now - Louiza "Weeze" Doran - 294As the anti-racism protests and movement continue to spread across our country, I wanted to represent a few Black voices on the podcast to help me/us get involved.

Become An Unstoppable Woman™BEING ANTI-RACISTI’ve been wanting to do an episode on racism for a while, but out of fear of backlash, I’ve held off. I'm mad at myself for putting off this topic because I see now how once again I'm living in a place of privilege. I have been putting my comfort ahead of the needs of people in the black community....and that's not okay. But, that’s changing now. Being quiet about race and only learning how I can improve as an ally to the black community during my private studies isn’t e...2020-06-0521 min
