After five years and 88 episodes, it is with both sadness and a ton of gratitude that we’re ready to announce that SEEN is coming to an end.
‌
When we began this podcast, we lived and worked in white-dominated spaces and were struggling under the weight of both external and internal censorship. SEEN was a space for us, as Black and brown q***r women, to explore what healing and liberation meant to us. We were terrified to speak our truths publicly, but deeply felt how necessary it was to break out of our silence.
‌
The magic of the space we co-created is undeniable. Five years later, we’ve built lives and careers that not only allow us to, but actually require us to show up as our whole selves.
‌
While of course systemic oppression continues, and we continue to live at the intersection of personal healing and collective liberation work, this podcast represented a particular space and time and journey, and we feel that it has come to a natural end.
‌
But we wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye, and giving the podcast a proper send off! We have one final episode - ENCORE - available, where we discuss the decision to end in more depth, reflect on our achievements and our regrets, explore how our friendship has changed, dream into our futures, and much more.
‌
As a bonus, we decided to film our final episode so we could say goodbye face to face. You can listen to ENCORE (out now!) wherever you usually listen to SEEN, or watch it on seenthepodcast.com (link in bio).
‌
So that’s our big news. But more than anything, we really want to thank every one of you with our whole hearts. The most humbling part of this has been knowing that our thoughts, feelings, and experiences resonated with you. That someone found value in our work. That by facing our fears and learning in public, we may have played some small part in helping someone else do the same. Thank you for every listen, every share, every word of encouragement; for your time and for the trust you extended when you shared your experiences with us too. We are grateful to have experienced this connection with you and we will carry that with us forever.
‌
In love and solidarity, always,
‌
Nic & Lala ♥️✊🏾

In this episode, Nic and Lala are joined by Mebrat Beyene to discuss the peaks and valleys of levelling up.

Transformative justice asks us to be honest about harm - where it comes from, who it’s impacting, and how we can transform those conditions to ensure that the harm can’t happen again.
⠀
Sometimes the harm is coming from within us - the call is coming from inside the house! And this season, we’re exploring what a process of transformative justice for self could look like.
⠀
Some questions to ask when we recognize that we’re experiencing harm within ourselves:
⠀
How did you know that it was you?
⠀
What have you been doing with that information?
⠀
What are the conditions within/around yourself that allowed this harm to occur?
⠀
What are your longings/desires around how these conditions need to change?
⠀
Where within yourself do you feel that change is inevitable?
⠀

What would support this internal healing?
