Inspired by adrienne maree brown’s book Pleasure Activism, this episode tackles pleasure as a form of liberation! 

Cicely Belle, Becca and Joy get into a heated game of Would You Rather… before delving deep into unpacking pleasure and leisure and how they inform our lives as activists. We chat getting baked, drinking champagne in the bathtub and taking a gooooood nap!

We also chat with Brian Michael Smith, a Black trans actor known for his work in The L Word: Generation Q and 911: Lone Star about his experiences and the importance of diversity and representation on screen!
