    Being Seen

    The award-winning podcast Being Seen is an in-depth exploration of culture’s role in resolving the tension between how we are seen and how we see ourselves. It is a space to explore current cultural representations and their impact through conversations with leading artists, writers, activists, entertainers, and community leaders. If we create nuanced and accurate cultural portrayals of identity and experience, we have an opportunity to reduce stigma and change perception – impacting everything from HIV to institutional inequality.

    Consulting partners on the project are Novella Ford, Charlene Carruthers, Aria Sa’id, Davina Otalor and Darnell Moore.

    Being Seen, Episode 08, Love, Radically Nov 17, 2020
    Show notes

    Black men loving Black men is, as the deceased Black gay writer Joseph Beam opined in the 1980s, a “revolutionary act” because every moment a Black man is transgressive enough to love what he has been socialized to hate, he commits an act of insurgency. And this is what it is to love, radically.
