Through open and honest discussions, we challenge the status quo, prompting listeners to question the inherent power imbalances embedded within this seemingly inclusive event.
Whether you're an advocate for social justice, a storyteller seeking to create meaningful narratives, or simply a curious listener interested in the intricacies of human experiences, this podcast is for you.
