Reclaiming 'Lesbian' and Finding Yourself After Rejection - with Shannon Burke

Reclaiming 'Lesbian' and Finding Yourself After Rejection - with Shannon Burke

Before we jump in, we want to acknowledge the moment this episode was recorded. Our Bay of Plenty community here in New Zealand was just about to enter a state of emergency followed by tragic landslides in Papamoa and on Mauao. Lives were lost and many families were affected. Our heartfelt aroha goes out to everyone impacted.

In today’s kōrero, Lisa is joined by Shannon - a London-based CEO in a heavily male-dominated industry who has also built a global social media following by confidently reclaiming the word “lesbian.” In just over a year online she’s grown a community in the millions, using humour and honesty to challenge stigma and normalise queer identity. She’s passionate about visibility, mental health, and creating space for others to feel less alone.

Together we talk about her coming-out journey, identity, rejection, resilience, community, and the small steps that help you rebuild confidence.
