Queerness at Work: A Podcast by Aanu Jide-Ojo
A podcast that explores the experiences of LGBTQ individuals in the workplace and provides them with tools and coping strategies.
The “Queerness at Work” podcast was created to amplify the voices and experiences of queer individuals navigating the complexities of professional life. With each episode, it aimed to centre stories and conversations that are often overlooked, delving deep into the nuanced realities of queer existence in workplaces that claim to be inclusive, but often fail to fully address the deeper challenges that arise after surface-level inclusion.
Through thought-provoking interviews and personal stories, the podcast met the needs of the LGBTQ+ community by offering a platform for discussion around these pressing issues. Two standout episodes exemplify this mission: one featuring a transwoman discussing the intersection of employment and isolation, and another with an intersex advocate, who shared insights on the mental health toll of advocacy work.
