On this very special episode, we discuss what it is to be an artist, our journeys thus far, how we’ve been overcoming fears and leaning into our joys, and our least and most favorite parts about doing what we do. Being an artist is such a beautiful thing --- enveloping, ever-changing, a practice, a process --- and we want to include our listeners in that with us. This is the last episode for our first half of Season 2! We need a break to make sure the second half of the season is just as impactful and intentional. See y’all!

On this week’s episode of Foot On Yo’ Neck we will be discussing Black Feminist Health Science Studies with Ugo Edu, who we first encountered as our professor at UCLA last year. However, Ugo’s work and scholarship go so much further. Ugo’s pronouns are she/her/hers and lives in So Cal. Ugo is a medical anthropologist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her PhD from the joint Medical Anthropology program at University of California, San Francisco/UC Berkeley, with a designated emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality.  Ugo’s scholarship has a strong interdisciplinary approach to issues of aesthetics, affect, race, gender, body knowledge and modification, and social justice. Her work is situated at the intersections of medical anthropology, public health, black feminism, and science, technology, and society studies. If you resonate with any part of our conversation and would like to further support Ugo’s work, be sure to visit ugofedu.com

We’ve been gone for a minute but we’re BACK with our foot on y’all’s necks (duh)! In this special first episode of our SECOND season, we discuss the abundance of delusion and scarcity of truth (or the acceptance of it) in our worlds, our daily life! We’ve personally been affected by others’ lack of willingness to CHANGE and expand their minds to make the world a better place since childhood, and we are entitled to compensation. No guest this week; just us, pure vibes, and our lived experiences.
