Manage episode 497556724 series 3463485
Simon Tam shares how naming his band “The Slants” launched him into a decade-long legal battle over identity, free speech, and what it means to reclaim power. He and Amanda explore why owning the narrative is a form of resistance and what happens when activism becomes art—and vice versa.
