Music has always been an important part of ONIKHO’s life, in the way it is for many of us. Growing up, she played classical music, and her mom forced her to practice. Later she found Jazz and fell in love with the art of creating something unique with her sound, but it still was a hobby rather than a career path. It wasn’t until she was in a car accent at 26 that things changed. We talk about that experience and how dance, music, and art generally changed her life at a time when she was struggling to see any future. We also talk about how the good things in life don’t make the difficulties less difficult, but at the same time, those hard things don’t make the points of light any dimmer.

Dyslexia is often seen as simply something that makes it difficult for children to learn to read. Natalie Brooks explains that it’s so much more than that. Dyslexia is actually a difference in the way we process information. It affects reading and spelling but also affects so much more. We talk about areas people might not think of as affected by dyslexia, share our own stories, and discuss some of the real strengths of dyslexic thinking.

Sometimes yelling SPERM can help change a multi-billion-dollar industry. Laura High is a comedian and donor-convinced person. Donor conception is almost no regulation, and Laura is working hard to change that. This week we talked about how comedy makes it so that more people listen to her sperm facts, brings a community together, and lightens the often dark work that she does.

Every institution has racism built into it. Each of them needs people actively fighting against the bias built in if we ever hope to make a more equitable world. Today's guest, Brianna Fallon, is fighting that fight in the theater. Brianna talks about practical ways even community theaters with few resources can become more anti-racist.

Sometimes we need a promised happily ever after. Sanjana Basker talks about the value of joy, feminism, and sexual empowerment in romance books. Romance books are about love, community, and connection, some things often undervalued in society today. Sanjana and I dive deep into all the reasons we love these books and the community surrounding them.

Like romance books themselves, while not all of the episode is about sex, it is part of it. We go into a deeply academic conversation about sex at around minute 42, so if that’s not something you enjoy, you may want to skip to minute 58.
