I Refuse Podcast

Hope you’re still listening and enjoying the podcast. Here’s a quick snapshot into what’s coming up next.

As I experience yet another of many mental and spiritual breakdowns, I wanted to share it in real time with you. It’s not easy, it’s not comfortable, it’s real life and this is what I’m going through in the dark corner of life.

Fresh off the heels of Black History Month, I decided to resume further examinations into the touchy topics most are uncomfortable to discuss or listen to; race in the LBTQIA+ community. Cis whites are blind to it, because it doesn’t affect them but it’s very real and it’s time we have that conversation. This is Part 2 of 2.

With a special co-host, we examine the movies she tasked me to watch in chronological order: Malcolm X, One Night in Miami and the Netflix special - Who Killed Sam Cooke?. And through this discussion, we explore other historical moments and conspiracy theories and government dealings of yesteryear. Also, we discuss current events and revere Regina King and her career.

With my special guest, we discuss and examine the Netflix movie Malcolm & Marie. During this discussion, we also share personal stories as examples of its core theme; communication.

In our inaugural episode for Black History Month, with a very special guest, we discuss noteworthy current black excellence, black historical moments that affected us personally and we even explore black cinema.

With a special guest, we discuss racism, prejudice and discrimination with in the gay community. What it looks like, the nuances and perceptions. People often excuse it as a preference, but we know the deal. We also explore how people use the BLM movement to appear down with black gays when the reality shows otherwise. Juicy part 1 episode

With another very special guest, we dive into the experiences of a popular female R&B artist that has begun opening up about her personal experiences of being assaulted and personal experiences of betrayal by those she was close with. Moreover, we explore the pushback women receive for being honest and vulnerable.

As the Capitol is under siege, I had to get on this platform and discuss the historical aspect of what we are currently seeing personified; the fragile white ego and the elitism and privilege that comes with it. Oh, I didn’t leave John Mackey unscathed.

With a very special guest, I reflect on 2020; the year I wish I had a receipt for.
