1948 to Freedom: From Palestine To Lebanon

Explicit content warning

11/17/23 • 61 min

In this session, Louiza “Weeze” Doran talks with a biracial Palestinian whose family fled Palestine during 1948, landing in Lebanon and later in the United States. They share insight from their lived experience, as well as, point us to research and tracked data regarding the experiences of those in Palestine. From refugee experiences during the Nakba to refugee camps, to Palestinian rights to Israeli apartheid, to mental health and resistance to settler colonialism.

They state, “And so part of our rage about the reaction to certain things, to only certain communities, is that these decades and decades and decades of violence have been literally unknown, ignored. I mean, by everyone, forever, and yet, suddenly, they’re worth attending to and I would say they’re absolutely worth just like they’ve been worth attending to, for the last 75 plus years.”

Previous Episode

The Enneagram Journey with Jessica Dickson

At this point we all know all about the Enneagram, right? Wrong. Take what you think you know and set it aside. I am honored to have Jessica Dickson here with me today. Jessica is an Enneagram genius and an antiracism educator, and a RAY OF SUNSHINE! She is utilizing the inner work of the Enneagram, with the context setting of antiracism, to create healing environments for her clients and we are lucky to have her share some of that with us today! Join me as I sit down with Jessica and dig into the challenges that come along with the Enneagram, why embodiment work has to come first, and the problematic practices that have been involved with both.

We’re exploring:

The goal of body love and how it may need to start with body relationship and loyalty
What exactly Enneagram is, and how can it drive our liberation work
How our social conditioning changes how we access ourselves
Why it’s important to allow yourself to hold on to your protection
Dealing with labels specific to being a certain “type”
Getting underneath a behavior to find the motivation driving it
Avoiding healing work that “tells” you what you are and what to do
Why tests are not the best way to find your Enneagram
And so much more!!

Hi Friends, I'm Back!

The show is baaaaaaack! We know it’s been a little bit... and Weeze is excited to reconnect. If you’re tuned in on social media or substack, you’ve been dialed in to the shifts, changes and transformations that have been afoot. In this short and sweet chat, Weeze rehashes what’s been up, how things are shifting, what is pulling her forward and what you can expect as you dive deeper into community with Weeze whether through the Podcast, the Community or over on Patreon.

How do we continue to show up for community without first practicing and more deeply embodying the work we teach? In this episode, Weeze shares candidly about her journey towards deeper alignment with her work, and values. Tune in to hear about all the things!

Lastly, Weeze would love for you to get involved with her foundation, The Asafa Collective through Volunteering, Donating and Sharing about the work (linked below).
