This episode focuses on health disparities within the black and brown communities in the US, following the covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. This past summer has revealed how deeply rooted system racism is within the country, primarily within our healthcare infrastructure. Kyah Harris, current student pursuing a Masters in Public Health and fellow creative, joins me to talk about her own experiences in school and as well as her own insight on what it means to be anti-racist and an ally.

I finally get to interview my best friend from college, Luis Carreño, fellow creative, musician and politics’ nerd via zoom for a long awaited podcast episode. This episode is a recap on everything that’s happened since the beginning of the lockdown. We discuss Karens, anti-maskers, how to talk about BLM, propaganda, and much, much more. I like to think of this episode as more free flowing, but also hella informational. Probably my most informative as of lately. DISCLAIMER: We are not God or whoever created this simulation. Everything in my podcast is opinionated unless stated otherwise. Happy listening!

The original release date of this episode was supposed to be March 20th, but I was sorting out my scheduling for the rest of my upcoming episodes and hosts due to COVID19.  In this episode, I invite two of my girlfriends from college over to discuss body image, body diversity, influencer culture, and the harmful effects of social media and advertising. Thank you, Chia and Thy for being part of this.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode features two artists in the local Atlanta art community. We delve into male depression and suicide as well as the problem with gender roles and how toxic masculinity is perpetuated in the media. In addition, I find out that the phrase, “men are trash,” is more impactful than you might think. Also- I finally got a new mic so the audio will be 10x better in the next episode. Thanks for hanging in there guys lol.

I invite a good friend from high school to sit down with me for a good ol’ hookah session while we discuss porn addiction, mental health, and its link to sex trafficking. My mission is to educate the harmful effects of porn on body image, overall health, relationships, and steps to take to heal and end this cycle.
