  • The Politics Of Sex Work (ft. Her Elise)
    On episode 75 of DearRDG, our hosts decide to do a quick check-in, and then we focus on welcoming Her Elise to our show. She is a sex worker and activist. We are seeing her just start growing in her activism, but it was a pleasure to learn more about her life as a dancer, the politics of sex work, and discrimination that happens in the industry.

  • The Wonder Of Anime, Creativity, and Growth (ft. The Wonder Of Ivy)
    On episode 69 of DearRDG, we just do a quick check-in with each other. The energy was a bit low for us, but we came in strong with a conversation with our fave Lisa De La Cruz who is the founder of the Wonder of Ivy brand. So it was so nice to talk about her creating for herself, changing her brand up, bringing anime to Black people and POC, and also just acknowledging the ecosystem that we cultivated.
