Episode 129: Queer Displacements (with Renee Dixson / FDPN)

What does it mean to engage with the stories of the forcibly displaced? What happens when those people seek support in each other - and what does solidarity with that movement look like for queer people, leading into a time like World Pride? 

Shareeka Helaluddin spoke with Renee Dixson, co-founder of the Forcibly Displaced People's Network (FDPN) ahead of their 2023 Queer Displacements Conference. Through Renee's own journey, and the work the FDPN does for LGBTQI+ people who have been forcibly displaced; their conversation spans queery-ing refugee advocacy, unpacking pinkwashing and corporate agendas in PRIDE, story-telling as a tool for social change.
