"Our ancestors did not come to the water alone... we truly need each other" -Sydney A. Foster

In this episode, I sit down with visual artist and director Sydney A. Foster to talk about growing up Black and queer in the South, finding liberation through art, and honoring ancestry through spiritual practice. We explore queerness as a politic, what family means, and how reproductive justice is about so much more than abortion access.

Sydney reflects on their healing journey and creative process, and we shout out powerful thinkers like Audre Lorde, Loretta Ross, Dorothy Roberts (Killing the Black Body), and June Jordan—whose work continues to shape how we imagine freedom, care, and community.
