He wishes his Seen List ended there. Instead, Justin recalls a youth of isolation as “the only black kid” in grade school and his later role as a “blaxpert” in workplaces. Justin and Miranda discuss race in the workplace and how snap judgements limit our ability to see the intricacies of one another’s lives. “People think they know who I am based on the title of my work” explains the creator of “Dear White People,” a movie turned Netflix show. Because of the controversial nature of his work, Justin is perceived as a cultural commentator with answers, but he prefers to been seen as a storyteller with questions.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/80095698\" target=\"_blank\">\"Dear White People\" returns to Netflix</a> May 4th, 2018</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/user/jsim07 \" target=\"_blank\">Justin's Spotify Playlists</a></p><p>See Justin on <a href=\": https://www.instagram.com/jsim07/?hl=en \" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> and <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DirJustinSimien/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>. </p><p><br></p><p>Be seen with us on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/seen_with_miranda/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> and <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SeenWithMiranda/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>. </p><p><br></p><p>Guest: Justin Simien </p><p>Host: Miranda Wylie</p><p>Producer: Myrriah Gossett</p><p>Editing by: Sarah Kaye Mohammad</p><p>Mixing by: Andrew Mohammad</p><p>Music by:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ssds.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Solid State Dream Suit</a></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Miranda Wylie"}
