From Allyship to Accomplice w/ Jamal Taylor
In this episode Jamal and Weeze talk about what it takes to truly be an accomplice in the movement. Sharing their experiences of dealing with people who claim to be allies, Weeze and Jamal drop knowledge on how to protect our peace, express love as a form of accountability, and spot the folks who just want to capitalize off of the movement.
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. She’s known as a coach, podcast host, advocate, agent of change, strategist, and educator (to name a few) but is ultimately a compassionate provocateur that is out to help folks uncover their path of possibility.
ABOUT JAMAL
Jamal Taylor is an activist and advocate based in Louisiana. Jamal is also working to end racism as an educator in the space. He has worked tirelessly to ensure that police brutality ends across the State of Louisiana. He is an accomplished speaker that has been interviewed by the NY Times, People Magazine, People TV, Dr. Oz, and many other national outlets. Jamal believes in the power of collective organizing and has facilitated several protests across the state. Most notably he is the advocate for the family of Quawan Charles, a 15-year old boy found dead in a sugar cane ditch in Louisiana. He frequently says that when we stand we give subconscious permission for others to stand with us.
