Beneath The Surface Metabolizing Black Rage (Season 2, Episode 10)

In this episode of Beneath The Surface I will be reflecting on and thinking through if Black Folks have had proper ways to metabolize our rage. I am thinking about this in light of the events that have happened this past week with a white man who murdered two people and injured another at a BLM Protest was found not guilty of his crimes. I reflect on what it may mean and the impact for Black Folks to continuously experience injustice and some ways that we may be able to find the will and desire to continue to imagine and fight for better versions of the future and the world for the liberation of Black People.

Beneath The Surface (BTS) is a podcast analyzing politics and society through an intersectional feminist lens hosted by host Karlyn Bradley, A Fat, Black, Queer, Femme who uses he/him and they/them pronouns.

That’s Not What That Means Pt. 2 (S.2, E.9)

Lastly I will provide some tips on how to engage in better and more meaningful discussions with others if that's something that you would like to do

In this Episode of Beneath The Surface I have my first conversational episode with  Labor Organizer, Marxist feminist, and Virgo Sun with an Aries Moon, Lexy Reyelts Salas. In this episode Lexy helps us understand the difference between Wealth Distribution and Mutual Aid. We will define terms like capitalism, wealth and what we mean when we say “The Rich”. We also discuss in depth many of the myths that capitalism feeds us to sustain itself. In addition to this we talk about the role that the law has and continues to play in creating generational wealth for specific groups of people and how calls for wealth distribution are different from mutual aid and why that is so.

Reactionary Critiques

In this episode I am going to discuss a pattern that I'm noticing about how we are critiquing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AKA AOC and how that doesn't sit right with my spirit. I will break down how I feel like the media skews our ability to stay focused on what and who we also may need to be critiquing in our political system. I also discuss ways that I think we can move away from falling into this trap and stay vigilant not to lose sight of the bigger picture to ensure that we are preserving our energy and critiquing people and things correctly and always with nuance.

Hosted by Michael Hobbs and Sarah Marshall

This episode of Beneath The Surface I explore and unpack what Fatphobia is and the various ways that it manifests itself. I also give a brief history of the body positivity movement and fat liberation movement and how in contemporary times it has been co-opted to remove it from its roots of dismantling fatphobia and anti fatness. Lastly, I provide folks with some resources to help them unpack and engage with their own internalized fatphobia.
