About this episode
Leah Kim interviews Benjamin Faye about his experiences as a musician and writer, focusing on issues of plagiarism and justice.
Benji is a musician, writer, and co-host of the White Homework podcast. As an adoptee, exvangelical, and spiritual abuse survivor, he advocates for justice and humanity through the lens of decolonization. A week before we recorded this conversation, Benji's work was plagiarized by an account with over 1 million followers. As a fellow writer whose work has been plagiarized, I wanted to highlight this often quiet extraction of the labor and artistry of us folks of the global majority. I share one of my personal experiences in the introduction of the episode. May we all continue speaking up for all injustices, big and small. It all matters as we work to build a more liberated existence for all. Support Benji's work Benji's Instagram Leah's Instagram
