How You See Me is an introspective, thought-provoking show from SoulPancake that stars the talented Akello Stone. The show is all about perception and how it can shape our lives in ways we never imagined. Each episode of the show features Akello Stone having meaningful conversations with people from different walks of life. From artists and entrepreneurs to activists and educators, Stone meets with a diverse range of individuals to delve deep into the topic of perception.

Through these conversations, Stone explores how we see ourselves and how others see us. He takes a closer look at how our perceptions of ourselves and others impact our lives and the decisions we make.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is how it tackles the concept of perception in all its various forms. Stone and his guests delve into the world of stereotypes, prejudice, and bias and how these concepts can be harmful, especially when we're not aware of them.

The show also examines how our personal experiences and the environment around us can shape our perception of the world. From childhood traumas to societal norms, Stone and his guests explore the various factors that influence how we view the world and the people in it.

Overall, How You See Me is an incredibly insightful and thought-provoking show that will leave you questioning your own perceptions and biases. It's a show that encourages us to be more mindful and empathetic towards others, and to take a closer look at the world and people around us.

What really makes the show stand out is the incredible performances from the guests. Akello Stone is a gifted interviewer and conversationalist, and he brings out the best in his guests, allowing them to open up and share their stories in a way that's authentic and compelling.

The show also boasts some fantastic production values, with beautiful cinematography and a sleek, modern look that adds to the overall viewing experience.

In terms of its overarching message, How You See Me is all about acceptance and understanding. It's a show that prompts us to look beyond surface-level judgments and assumptions and to truly see people for who they are.

In a world that's increasingly divided, How You See Me is a refreshing reminder of the power of empathy and connection. It's a show that's sure to leave a lasting impression and one that I highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of perception and identity.

"This idea of victimhood is from your point of view. If I come from a point of view that it's never going to get better, that this is always going to be terrible, then sure, that could have a victimhood ring to it. We see it so often, when people talk about their experience as a person of a particular gender, race, or culture, they are told they're playing the "victim card."
