Voices on the Side
by Leah Kim
Book Interview Series with Ashley Simpo
About this podcast
The Voices on the Side podcast centers stories of marginalized identities as an antidote to white supremacy. Our guests have a variety of backgrounds. Some are thought leaders actively focused on the fight for collective liberation while others share stories rooted in their personal history. As people of the global majority, we all resist oppression through our insistence to live, create, and be seen and heard. We explore narratives to remind us of our shared humanity.
