More than one box

More than one box

A podcast series grounded in the conviction that by unpacking and challenging narratives that neatly fit so many of us into a box, we can understand each other more, learn from each other, and pave the way for more open conversations. Born from a curiosity to explore the complexity of human identity and connections, this podcast brings together people from all walks of life who thrive at the crossroads of diverse identities, carved out unique niches, or simply refuse to be boxed. Join me as I unfold stories that remind us: we are more than the boxes and labels society tries to fit us into.
