a quick ep on breaking illusions and self-acceptance; hope u enjoy!

in this episode, i discuss not feeling "enough", and my exploration into "being" vs. "doing" amidst having covid. i come out as an artist after a future memory of me selling my art comes to me vividly. i share my thoughts on spontaneous doodling and the process of developing an artistic style. towards the end, i sing a ballad of a new song i created. hope u enjoy! #wylinnnn #a #summer #ago

Omar Baboolal is an old friend and creative force that I met through student leadership back in 2016. in this episode, we discuss what it means to hold multiple truths in terms of our reality, identity, and relationships. the backdrop of this episode takes place during a book club meeting where omar and i explore Chapter 2 of Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" - a hallmark text for liberation education.

themes of knowing and not knowing, becoming, co-creating, deconstructing and re-constructing are also explored.

Jan 25, 2022 - been editing for most of today, and i gotta admit, it's tough editing the stuff you were saying with ur chest a year and a half ago - as most of my episodes are filmed during that time period. i wanted to make a little episode between episodes update about how i'm feeling (spoiler: im feeling good, this was a great decision) as well as my intentions for myself and the podcast - before i finish editing my longer shows from the past.

this ep between eps discusses how creative outlets feel like you're falling in love, and how the healing and creative journeys can amplify one another <3 hope you babes enjoy :*

Dec 10, 2021 - discussing the new year on a walk with a childhood friend and neighbour, Hajer Mustafa. we talk expectations, symbolism, and social pressure around the concept of gregorian new year. #gregheadzzz the audio is a little rough, but i kinda liked that. thank you to haj for her contribution to this episode! i hope you all enjoy

Sept 2, 2020 - senior year, first day of zoom school >:] this episode was filmed almost a year and a half ago with guests Lily McRae and Morgane Kuyl. it's the recorded conversation leading up to a smoke break in which we explore intersections of community and personal opportunity vis-a-vis the pandemic. this was the first podcast episode we ever filmed and it's kinda crazy to go back and see how my conversation and listening styles have changed over the years. its also great for looking back and seeing how i can improve in the realms of podcast hosting, conversation leading, and listening. thank u to lily and morgane for their thoughts, hope u enjoy x

Jan 19 2022 fr fr - i recorded this today and felt like finally, after 2 years, i had the "perfect" first episode, which funny enough is a 5 minute sound bite of excuses as to why i havent started a podcast. the sun is shining, and i realized im going to risk creating corny or "not good" episodes in lieu of no episodes at all.
