Thoughts from the 305

Nuances are killing us and the internet is aiding and abetting in the crime. How can the working person take back some of the power the systems won't acknowledge they have?

Floridians have had enough. In this episode we're calling and naming the things. The direction that the Florida government has taken is not in the best interests of the masses. The hypocrisy and contradictions are frightening and hysterical at the same time. Join in as we dissect the mess!

Diverse, is usually the first thing that comes to mind when folks think of Miami, but this episode we're calling out the elephant in the room....Anti-Blackness. Join me as I am interviewed by Catalyst Miami and as we dive into the nuances of Anti-Blackness in the vice city. 

Recently the governor of Florida, along with a whole bunch of other people, have been making very dangerous steps to the far right. Not only are our teachers struggling, but so are our young Black, brown, and queer youth. I, along with the rest of the team at the Alliance for LGBTQ Youth are coming together, to speak on the challenges the youth of Florida, and other like minded states, are struggling with.

As adults we need to do better for the children of this world! 

In this episode I am joined by members of the SMASH (STRUGGLE FOR MIAMI’S AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE HOUSING) and the Executive Director of Women with Broken Heals as we discuss the affordable housing crisis in Miami Dade County! Join us as we discuss oppressive systems, solutions, community, and so much more! 

It's not everyday that we get to take a step back and unpack, but here we are. Join me and two of my favorite people discuss decolonization in the context of, well...everything! We're talking the hazards of representation, pop starts placed on pedestals, and the much need for us to heal as a collective. 

Get ready for a hot and heavy episode. This time we're talking about BDSM, and I'm not talking 50 Shades of Gray, we're talking the real shit. Domination has been a tool of colonization since day one and the taboo that has been placed on sex is rooted in colonization. Join us as we deconstruct and decolonize this misunderstood kink and get to know some of the folx that practice this beautiful dark art. 

In this episode we're getting deep on the subject matter of miscarriage as well as the struggle and tropes still affiliated with infertility and postpartum depression. This conversation will also touch upon the challenges of going through a miscarriage in this Medical Industrial Complex. 

In this episode we continue our conversation with folx within the Queer Spectrum, more specifically Gay men. We're talking misogyny, racism, colorism, and again with this pesky concept of "representation" and how it can be another form of keeping folx complicit.

This episode is stacked so prepare to be blown away! We're talking about the struggles that lesbian women and bisexual women still face today, the extra level of violence faced by queer women, how Hollywood be acting (no pun intended), and so much more!
