Louiza “Weeze” Doran: Liberation of All and the Collective by Way of Individual Liberation

June 28, 2022

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, speaker, strategist, healing-centered educator, and guide (to name a few) but is ultimately a compassionate provocateur who is out to help folks uncover their path of possibility through liberation by way of decolonization, justice, and anti-oppression work.

In the conversation today, we start with some of Weeze’s reflections and takeaways from a recent read, “Pleasure Activism.” We then move into some background to the idea of deconstruction to reconstruction of one’s identity through healing and coming home to oneself. Weeze shares some personal stories about redefining and reshaping her identity and her mission to protect her peace while helping support others to do the same.
