🎙️ Unmuted, the podcast that amplifies voices

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

(🇫🇷👇🏽) Link Spotify in bio
Episode 10 of Unmuted is live — and honestly, it’s one of the most beautiful conversations I’ve recorded.

Meet @oriane.garcia : autistic, hypersensitive, brutally funny, unbelievably sharp.
She talks about masking, late diagnosis, understanding herself, humour as survival, and why “we can’t say anything anymore” is… well, not what people think.

It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s smart. It’s hilarious.
And it’s the perfect way to close Season 1.

🎧 Go listen — you’ll feel seen.

—————————————-
L’épisode 10 d’Unmuted est en ligne — et honnêtement, c’est l’une des plus belles conversations que j’ai enregistrées.

Voici Oriane : autiste, hypersensible, drôle à en pleurer, et d’une lucidité incroyable.
Elle parle du masking, du diagnostic tardif, de la compréhension de soi, de l’humour comme survie… et de ce fameux “on peut plus rien dire”, qui n’est pas du tout ce qu’on croit.

C’est tendre. C’est brut. C’est intelligent. C’est hilarant.
Et c’est la façon parfaite de clôturer la saison 1.

📲 It started with a note on my phone:
“Create a podcast.”
March 2024. A quiet dream. A maybe-one-day.

Fast forward → my daughter is 18 months old, and Unmuted is real.
🎙 8 episodes out. 2 more on the way.
🔥 Topics we don’t sugarcoat: racism, feminism, identity, mental health, neurodiversity, power, privilege…

This isn’t “just” a podcast.
It’s a safe space. A counter-narrative.
A place where we exist and resist.

Season 2?
👀 New co-host.
🎥 New format (yes, we’re going video).
Same mission: amplifying our voices.

Thank you for showing up, listening, and sharing space with me and my guests. 💛

💬 What do you want us to talk about in Season 2? Drop it below.

🎙️We talk a lot about DEI. But are we really doing it?
New episode of #Unmuted just dropped!

And this one is for the organizations that say inclusion matters… but still treat it like a side project.

I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Professor Claudia Toma, whose work is as razor-sharp as it is necessary. Together, we unpack why so many DEI strategies feel hollow, and what it really takes to make an impact, beyond the usual training sessions and mission statements.

Claudia doesn’t sugarcoat it:
Some organizations are just not ready for DEI.
And pretending otherwise? That’s worse than doing nothing.

We talk about:
❗ What the research says about intergroup dynamics and DEI outcomes
❗Why “doing the right thing” isn’t enough without a clear why
❗How decoupling is killing DEI credibility from the inside
❗The most common (and dangerous) forms of resistance
❗ And yes… whether or not “you can still say anything anymore”

This episode is bold, bridges academic & field, and a little bit unsettling.
Just how I like it.

Claudia, thank you for your clarity, your brilliance, and your honesty.
Go listen. Share it with your leadership team. Let it shake something.

🧠 Yesterday was World Autism Awareness Day

But awareness isn’t enough. Especially when so many still feel the need to hide who they are, just to survive at work.

🎙️ In this new episode of Unmuted, we share the anonymous story of “Victoria”, a brilliant lawyer who is also autistic.

Because speaking openly still comes with risks, she asked to remain unnamed, a choice that in itself says a lot.

We talk about:

📢 The stereotypes that erase autistic women, who are often overlooked or misdiagnosed

📢 The exhausting reality of masking: acting “neurotypical” just to belong

📢 The link between masking, chronic stress and burnout

📢 The cycle: overachieve, crash, repeat, while organizations benefit from neurodivergent strengths but ignore their needs

📢 Hypersensitivity in the workplace: lights too bright, constant interruptions, no quiet spaces

And most importantly, how to build a way of working that’s sustainable and human

Let’s be clear:

🧠 Neurodiversity means recognizing that people’s brains work differently and that’s not something to fix.

🧠 Celebrating autism while forcing autistic people to mask is not inclusion.

🧠 Change starts when organizations adapt, not when individuals are pressured to fit in.

🎧 Tune in to Victoria’s story, a voice that speaks for so many others still left unseen.

⚠️ Audio disclaimer: Due to a technical issue, the sound may be slightly crisp at times. Thank you for your understanding.

New episode of Unmuted with @juliemarinower! (in French!)🎙️

In this conversation, we dive deep into the intersections of identity, feminism, and allyship, without filters.
Julie shares her experiences as a Jewish woman navigating white passing privilege, sexism, and internalized misogyny, all while challenging the systems that shape our workplaces and society.

Topics we unpack:
🔥 The patriarchy & leadership programs for women
🛑 Workplace sexism & microaggressions
🎭 Performative allyship vs. real coalition
⚖️ Anti-racism, feminism and the role of Jewish identity
📢 "You can’t say anything anymore" : the weaponization of free speech
🤝 True allyship means being the one who says STOP

Julie’s insights remind us of a crucial truth: opening the door for others does not mean less for you. Inclusion is not a zero-sum game.

🎧 Tune in now & let’s keep the conversation going!

🎙️ Unmuted Episode 5 – Why DE&I still matters with Luc Vandemoortele
Six months ago, when I sat down with Luc to record this episode, we had no idea what was coming.

🌩️ No idea how much the world would shift, how #DEI would be pushed even further to the sidelines, how the rights of minorities (hard-won, never guaranteed) would feel more fragile than ever.

☔ Luc is one of the most positive people I know. He carries hashtag#hope like a lantern, lighting the way even when the road feels uncertain.
But even he, even me, even all of us doing this work, sometimes feel the weight of it. The weight of knowing that progress is not a straight line, that inclusion is still something we have to defend, that rights can be rolled back faster than they were granted.

💧 And yet, Luc reminds me : every drop counts.
His belief in change, in the power of action, in people is unwavering.
This episode isn’t just a conversation about #antiracism, #quotas or workplace #discrimination.
It’s a reminder that even when the world feels like it’s moving backward, we don’t have to.

🌈 We keep pushing. We keep planting. We keep standing tall.
Because one day, all these drops, ours, his, yours, will turn into something bigger.

🎧 Tune in now, and let’s keep moving forward, together.

🎙️ Unmuted Episode 4 : Last one before our Winter Break!

I had the privilege of speaking with @sarraelma, journalist and project manager at @adim_mediadiversite, she's also producer of @nos.heritages podcast.

Sarra shares her powerful perspective as a racialized woman navigating the journalism and cultural industries.

Spaces often dominated by stereotypes and systemic biases.

We dive into:
⚖️The tension between journalistic "neutrality" and the need for inclusion

🏃 The pressures of speed in modern journalism and its role in spreading bias and fake news

💚 The urgent need for safe spaces where voices can be heard and respected

Sarra’s testimony reminds us that inclusion isn’t optional. It’s essential for shaping industries that reflect the diversity of our societies.

🎙️ Unmuted Episode 3 is here!

This week, I’m sitting down with DE&I expert Claudia Nigeon (She/Her/Hers), CDP, who shares her powerful perspective as a Black woman navigating the workplace.

We tackle:
🌪️ #Intersectionality – How overlapping identities shape unique experiences for BIPOC individuals

🥇#Tokenism – When diversity is reduced to a checkbox, not genuine inclusion

🌱#MentalHealth – The often-unspoken impact of exclusion on well-being and resilience.

Claudia’s insights are raw, real, and thought-provoking. She challenges us to move past surface-level diversity.
