Hey y'all, welcome to the According to Weeze podcast. This is a quick minisode announcing the release of the podcast and letting y'all know that there was a name change. Originally it was going to be At the Intersection but since there were so many of those, I️ decided to keep it consistent and name the pod According to Weeze. Stay connected and tune in each week! ABOUT THE ACCORDING TO WEEZE PODCAST Hosted by Louiza "Weeze" Doran, According to Weeze is a podcast founded on the belief that we exist at the intersection of our complex identities, politics and socio-cultural systems! Each week Weeze engages in complex, yet candid conversations focused on socio-political and personal matters in hopes of finding a way forward in community. The only way to dismantle oppression is to dissect it, so meet her at the intersection and learn how to create a just, equitable, and inclusive society.

Think showing up in my business boldly and unapologetically has come naturally or simply for me? Nope! I’ve been inspired by other amazing and revolutionary WOC, and one of the biggest influences for me has been Weeze Doran. I’m so excited to have her on the show today, sharing with us the story of her own journey to choose herself and liberation and how it helped her to create a truly revolutionary life and business.   We’re diving into: How Weeze became the Weeze she is today and overcame the socializations she grew up with Her own decolonization journey The importance of self-care and allowing yourself to be human, especially now! How her parents influenced her spark towards liberation The life changing realization she had as her marriage ended What she sacrificed to take charge of her liberation How she chose an “unknown version of me” over something “safe” and “right” Why community is so important in your own liberation journey How Weeze does business differently and how she’s decolonized her business Why she doesn’t use contracts with her clients And more!   Weeze has been called many things from coach, podcast host, advocate, agent of change, strategist, and educator (to name a few) and ultimately - she is a compassionate provocateur that is out to uncover your path of possibility. She believes that in order to alter our social reality as a whole, we as people have to shift, and thus she has built a coaching and educating practice with two distinct branches: Anti-racism & decolonization and empowerment & authentic alignment. She believes that by teaching and empowering individuals to walk in their purpose, we can create an equitable, diverse and inclusive society.   Make sure you follow Weeze on Instagram and subscribe to her Podia where you’ll find exclusive content, her book club, and more!   Instagram: https://instagram.com/accordingtoweeze Podia: https://accordingtoweeze.podia.com/weeze    Connect with Gieselle:    Join me in my free private Facebook group, The Woman of Color Entrepreneur Revolution, and continue the conversation! https://www.facebook.com/groups/679342759273155/    Apply for 1:1 coaching with me: https://www.gieselleallen.com/book-now    Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gieselleallen

It’s the season 3 finale, so we’re flipping the script and Weeze becomes our guest! In this episode she is interviewed by our amazing guest, Madison Jacobs, from ep 3. They talk about Weeze’s process of slowing down, tending to her own humanity after being in overdrive for the last 20 months, how we as a collective can begin to heal and exist unapologetically in systems created to destroy us, what liberation can look like, and how she’s learning & co-creating in her relationship. ABOUT WEEZE Louiza Doran, known and referred to as Weeze, is a cis-het Amazigh* female identifying human who uses she/her/they/them pronouns.

The truth is that systems of oppression aren’t going to be eradicated in our lifetime, so how can we begin to exist unapologetically anyway? The difference between being emotionally reactive and retraumatized or triggered.  Weeze’s current growth edge in life, where she’s been recalling her energy, and how she’s refocusing on her wellbeing.
