In this thought-provoking episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we dig deep into one of the most urgent ideas of our time: collective liberation. What does it really mean in a world where dissent is policed and solidarity is splintered?


Joining us is Céline Semaan, Lebanese-Canadian designer, writer, and founder of Slow Factory, whose work fuses climate and social justice, political education, creative resistance and storytelling rooted in ancestral wisdom. From surviving war in Lebanon to challenging fast fashion brands, Céline brings lived experience to the table in a way that few can.


Together, we unpack whether digital platforms can truly foster revolution, what the consequences of elitism are in activist spaces, and how we can imagine a liberation that is truly shared at a time when even the idea of “collective” is up for debate.


🛑 What does collective liberation mean in a digital age?

🛑 The criminalisation of dissent

🛑 Fashion brands and genocide

🛑 Are we building movements — or feeding the algorithm?

🛑 How do we navigate contradictions in activism

🛑 Anti-intellectualism and fascism


This is more than a conversation, it’s a call to action to move from slogans to substance.
