Morado Lens

If there were ever a time to launch a feminist porn magazine, it’s now. Listen to founder MacKenzie Peck talk about what inspired the beautifully curated and unassuming print magazine that you can easily read on your commute to work. You can finally read about niche kinks like people who fuck on balloons, a.k.a lunars, or indulging in a fantasy on that co-worker even though you’re in a monogamous relationship. This magazine is a safe sex space intended for you to explore where ever your sexual journey takes you. Spoiler alert: Math’s latest issue features an intimate interview with adult film producer, transsexual man and human rights activist Buck Angel. Peck also talks about being polyamorous since high school, how she became sexually empowered and progressive, sex in public, play parties, and what happened after Math hosted a squirting workshop on Snapchat. She has some advice on how to discuss polyamorous feelings in a monogamous relationship and tips on how to take the first steps in being sex positive for those new to the game. “There is porn for everyone,” says Peck. “You can be sexually progressive and still not want to run through the streets naked.” Sign up for Math Magazine’s newsletter because their social media platforms are under a watchful eye and can be shut down at times.

episode dedicated to sex and we did just that (you're welcome!). We broke it down in 2 ways. One of us (hint: Nat) is the prude and the other (hint: Cindy) is the pornstar - not in a literal sense, but kinda. We break down walls (not the kinds that exist in our vagina) about being sex positive, lifting the veil of shame and owning more sex toys in the future because hey, we're all about self-care at Morado Lens headquarters. We even sprinkle in motherhood and the societal norms that make some think Nat isn't the mom of a 4 yr. old named Jonah. Crazy, we know. And Cindy delivered breaking news about her future Erotica novel... stay tuned!

We live in a time where everyone is a brand and what that means is constantly changing. And Dominican American blogger and photographer Denisse Benitez is no different. She takes us through her branding journey and why she’s leaving the land of bodegas and botánicas, aka northern New Jersey, for Arizona. Plus, we get into colorism in the media industry, all the shit she got for dating a white guy and how her outspoken self stays centered even though she grew up in a religiously conflicted home. Spoiler alert: We found out we have a Bruja in common because the world is that small! And, find out why we call her the Cardi B of blogging and photography, how to value yourself and make space for yourself as a women of color. Because as Denisse said, “Equality is not isolating yourself. Equality is "Move the fuck over, I belong here.” Follow her magic on Instagram @ChasingDenisse to keep up with all the things.

Immigration lawyer Carolina Rubio-MacWright breaks down the ugly truth of what happens to women who leave horrendous situations, some with their children, seeking refuge in the United States. She teamed up with Mamas Con Poder/Moms Rising to help women in all kinds of situations and show the world that we aren’t just all undocumented, there are amazing Latinas changing the game. With the immigration campaign, Mamas Con Poder have been focusing heavily on TPS and the DREAM act. And, giving more visibility to detention centers, especially incarcerated women with children. The Women’s Refugee Commission did a very extensive report stating that in within the first 6 months of the Trump administration taking office, there was a 60% increase of women detained. Which means many more women are being denied bonds. It’s causing a lot of trauma and issues. The scariest part: Women and children are being separated now more than ever. But not all is lost. Tune in and see what you can do to help undocumented moms and their kids. To top it off, Rubio-MacWright will leave you floored on all that she does as an artist. She shares her thoughts on her the universe, intuition and how being open and letting things happen instead of resisting the moment. For more information, check out their website MomsRising.org or MamasConPoder.org, if you want to read it in Spanish.

Podcasters Rachel Strauss-Muñiz and Juan Bago lit up the room with straight up comedy! They discussed their comedic journey, how they both met and even offered success advice to future Latinx storytellers. Hear how our conversation went from loud to louder when agreeing we want more Latinx-owned media companies, more money for our content, how pastelitos in Jersey are the best (and the cheapest!), and how Juan Bago's alter ego 'Latin Daddy' sounds super pornographic (google it). You can find out more about Latinos Out Loud on their Youtube page or follow their Instagram.

While motherhood comes with its share of exhaustion, new mami and intuitive Tatianna Tarot says she’s very grateful that it’s also given her the ability to step out of herself and realize that being a new mother has broadened and heightened her sense of purpose and awareness. She even delves into how she is trying to micromanage her energy because energy is vital for survival, especially as the matriarch of her family and business owner. As Tatianna put it, “Self care is whatever you need to do to give yourself an extra dose of self love", on Valentine’s Day and every day. You might just be surprised to hear how this bruja stays centered when she transitions from boss witch to house witch. She shares what essential oils she’s been turning to recently to calm down, wake up and bring joy, which have also helped her tap into her own magic. Tatianna also walks us through her birthing story and the real struggles no one talks about. And, we also get into pregnancy sex positions, getting her brujo in training boo on the show, and our love for black cats. Spoiler alert: We even release an impromptu PSA for the fellas who are dating or married to pregnant brujas. Share this with a friend who needs to indulge in tangible self-love/care tips, bruja mom real talk, or someone who may need a private reading by Tatianna Tarot. Don’t forget she will be in New York City (Shout out to The Trap Witch!) for her event (sold out!) but will be around for tarot card reading classes. Hit her up here.
