Singer, songwriter, and fashion designer Moonchild Sanelly has reclaimed the label “overbearing” as a badge of honor. When mentors told her she was too much, she refused to shrink, proving instead the power that is creative expression unrestricted by boxes or rules. Moonchild’s music is her medicine, and her style, sound, and story are declarations of freedom. She processes her pain through her music in order to heal herself and others, overcoming eating disorders, sexual abuse, and bullying, and gifting the world with the truth: being yourself is never too much.

Intersex filmmaker and actor River Gallo debuted their first feature-length film “Ponyboi” on June 27th, turning their “otherness” into their power.

Queer, creative powerhouse Barry Brandon found his way back to his heel-wearing, unshackled childhood self by embracing a radical truth: everything he’d been told was a lie. After surviving multiple heart surgeries before his mid twenties, Barry realized early on that he couldn’t live his life “safe,” watered-down, or stuck behind a desk. Instead he unlocks the portal to his most freed self through small moments of defiance that ultimately turn into life-defining choices. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how Barry truly breaks out of the Matrix – refusing the victim-narrative, calling out the myths designed to keep us small, and not only taking freedom into his own hands, but creating it.

Barry’s gorgeous garment was made by designer Maciej Bohen.

Singer-songwriter Victoria Canal was born with one arm – but that never stopped her from stepping into the spotlight. Victoria challenges assumptions and questions celebrity culture, embodying the liberating belief that your body doesn’t define how you move through the world. Embracing her limb-difference, position in the public eye, and recovery from sexual assault, Victoria makes space to live out her depth and nuance. She reveals that while her wildest dream is to win a Grammy, she also craves creating art off-the-grid for the sake of self-expression; simply “being” and living out your complex wholeness is, and always has been, enough.

Author, "bad feminist", and cultural icon Roxane Gay believes that self-acceptance isn’t a destination – in a society obsessed with robotic perfectionism, embracing our messy, complex humanity is a radical mindset. She attempts to welcome the parts that don’t fit the mold of her “ideal” self, including her trauma, fatness, age, lack of self-love and finding romance later in life. Roxane chooses acceptance over shame, nuance over binaries, and grace over judgement for herself and others. How would you feel if you forgave yourself for your short-comings and mistakes?
