  • 155. Love is Blind S9: Ep1-5: racism, biohacking and arrested development

    This season has me HOWLING! My review covers Ep1-5 and 10mins of Ep6 - basically only the pods stuff, nothing beyond. I use the couples as a mirror to discuss larger societal themes around:


    • internalized racism
    • racial preferences
    • shame and romantic desperation 
    • trusting ones intuition
    • Heteroflexibility and hiding behind faith
    • Emotional repression

  • 144. Laverne Cox: MAGA, intersectionality and living out our politics (including COMPASSION)

    I love the conversation Laverne’s admission has given rise too. A lot of it is shallow and obvious in its call to action (cancel Laverne) so I’d like to provide a deeper perspective rooted in compassion and consideration. I discuss: 


    • Dating Across Political Lines
    • The Intersection of Politics and Dating
    • How people relate to their oppressors
    • The Challenges Faced by Black Trans Women
    • How black folks relate to white folks
    • Dating preferences within a white supremacist world
