Black Matter

Owner and chef, Polo Abram of PDX based, Mis Tacones 🌮🌮🌮 https://www.facebook.com/mistaconespdx/ shares tea on things 💋 Queer 💋 POC 💋 Vegan Taqueria 💋. You'll hear what it's like living in the Portland queer POC scene while kiki-ing it up with me in their home country (Mexico!!!) for a well-deserved spring break trip. Polo is an artist, activist, and all around home-maker that believes a real kiki must have food made right from the home, blending together the flavors of being both queer and Mexican. 

PS. Richmond! While Mis Tacones is way in PDX (far af) dont forget we got @soultacorva right in Jackson Ward AND Shockoe! Check them out in honor of this episode. 

There's vegan queer vibes COAST TO COAST!!! 

From Lizzo to colorism Blackademics, Kiara Lee-Hart and I talk all things that interests us while keeping our loud and everlasting friendship in the mix. 

Kiara is a passionate writer, with two children’s books exploring colorism and parental incarceration (Light-Skinned, Dark-Skinned or In-Between? and Be a Man Tyrone: What Happens when Daddy Goes to Prison), a long-running blog (theblackertheberry.org). Kiara owns a t-shirt line called #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE. Its mission is to promote girls and women staying in school and proceeds go toward school supplies for local women and girls in need. In 2016, she was selected as one of Style Weekly’s 2016 Top 40 Under 40. 

She's a warm friend and represents everything the Black Matter platform well brining LOTS of dimentionalities to the mic. 

This is a raw recording from a Black Men's Retreat I attended in ATL put on by: https://kemeticyogi.com/ with a group of very diverse Black males, some gay and some straight identifying.
