According to Weeze
80 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago -Welcome to According To Weeze, with me, your host, Louiza Doran, aka Weeze.
I believe that liberation requires of us the ability to imagine, to re-imagine what is into what could be. It requires us to think outside of what is currently possible to become architects of possibility.
In each episode, I’ll examine and explore everything from pop culture to current events and trends through this lens in a candid and conversational way. It’s like being a fly on the wall to a really lit coffee date (or me just talking to my dog, Lola) but from the comfort of your own home.
I hope this spurs curiosity and conversation for you all. Catch you on the airwaves or in the Patreon!
