Bia's art and music discusses topics such as feminism, anti-racism and homophobia and we left nothing out of this episode.

Communidade, recording this episode was an absolute honour.

Bia Fereirais a person who loves to fight, uplift and show Love to her people. So it was very special to get to sit down with her. From Subjects like slavery, colonialism, religion we got to laugh, tear up and even sing a little.

Religion, history and we hear about how to become a member of the Igreja Lesbiteriana /Lesbitarian Church.

Bia is a risk taker, she has always spoken her mind and kept it 100% with everything she does. She explains about her time in London and touring in Europe, being around the different types of people and her diverse and loyal fan base. Bia's audiences are the type of people, like myself, who are always looking for the type of encouragement to tell your truth and do things differently. Bia Fereira inspires this.

So Communidade, I urge you to sit back and enjoy this episode and consider becoming part of the Igreja Lesbiteriana.
