Not About You is a podcast about identity and social justice. I'm the producer and host of the show and I wanted to make a show where a white, straight, cis-gendered man (that's me) connected with folks with different lived experiences from my own about the ways parts of their identities bump up against injustices. We'll be talking about race, gender, religion, representation, protests, politics, relationships and more.
My hope is that this series leads to more conversation and interaction. I want folks who are hesitant or new to standing in these struggles to feel more comfortable showing up for change and asking questions. I want underrepresented voices to have new ways to be amplified and supported.
I've set up a voicemail line, 612-361-9261, where you can share comments, suggestions and personal stories of your own that may be used in future episodes of the podcast. If you tell me which episode you're responding to, that will help me make follow up episodes with voicemail responses. Call 612-361-9261 with your questions, comments or stories.
“I strongly believe that what is true for me doesn’t necessarily mean that the opposite is false for another person.”
Enzi Tanner is a Community Safety Organizer at Jewish Community Action(JCA). He's also a licensed social worker who has spent the past two decades focused on police brutality & police violence. In this episode, Enzi talks about the ways being a Black, trans, disabled, Jew impacts the way he thinks about public safety & how he shows up in community.
