What are you? (Mesican)

August 06, 2021 12:03 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MB

TJ checks in with her friend, Anastasia, about her experience growing up in New Mexico. Interestingly enough, being multi-racial is such a shared experience but also seems to be one of loneliness... an experience about figuring out one's place in a cross-section of culture and race. While race is a man-made construct, it does not make the impacts of racism or racial divides any less difficult to navigate. Anastasia deals with being both fetishized and simultaneously lumped into a racial grou...

My name is Joe… (not the singer)

July 15, 2021 20:25 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Joe is back from season one. Our fearless leader, Etik, dives into a little bit of Joe's background; they talk about everything from kindergarten crushes to women's body hair. Sexual identity is a piece of the conversation and they discuss how sexual orientation impacted their young adulthoods, perceptions of gender roles and how we all develop these thoughts and perceptions of what should be. Keep in mind, this show is for grown folks! So the talk gets real. But it's all for the sake of edu...

The Heroine

July 08, 2021 19:30 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

Join TJ and Jamie as they talk about two sides of the same coin. On this episode, we are introducing our last podcast member for this season and her furry sidekick, Biscuit (spoiler alert, he's a dog). Jamie picked the pen as her superhero's weapon of choice. We all know the old adage, "The pen is mightier than the sword", which simply means that intelligence and wit can often deliver a more impactful blow than violence. Occasionally, Jamie chooses both... violence but keep it cute, complet...
