Hi loves! Welcome to NaskoChats, recording it's Third Season of exploring the human experience, tomfoolery, drag, film, music, and soooo much more!

In this week's episode, my friend Garcia and I discuss, ravel, and straight up simp over the incredible musical artist RAYE. If you haven't heard her music, I'm sorry - pause, go listen, and come back, because that's shameful. We dive into our first intro to RAYE, her musical work, our experience at her concert, and play some song guessing games.

Opening and closing jingle were made by Laura Call-Gomez (aka Laurita)!

Hi loves! Welcome to the return of NaskoChats, the Third Season of exploring the human experience, tomfoolery, drag, film, music, and soooo much more!

In this week's episode, I reflect on my journey with therapy. While giving a brief overview of my topics of discussion in therapy, I also discuss topics of finding the right fit, older mentality towards therapy, the immigrant aversion towards therapy, and read some confessionals/experiences from my dear friends about the topic.

In this week's episode, I settle in and catch y’all up on my life through the 8 Dimension of Life, a pattern of introspection I use to journal and reflect on where I am and ground myself and my values. I also talk about what to expect for future episodes and other random bits. Hope y'all enjoy listening!

Hi loves! Welcome to a new bonus series of NaskoChats! I've always wanted to review my favorite TV show - RuPaul's Drag Race and here we are! I wanna thank my bestie, Saareen Junaid, for being my co-host for this bonus series. In this set of episodes, Saareen and I will review each new upcoming episode of Season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, discussing queens' performances, looks, and overall storyline of the show. In this episode, we review episode 11 - Two Queens, One Joke. We critique and review the queens' performances in the stand-up comedy duo challenge and their runway looks - category is "Rip Her to Shreds". Hope you enjoy it!

Additionally, I wanted to bring a spotlight on the bigoted and ludicrous bill passed in the state of Tennessee banning drag performances and making it illegal to cress-dress. As avid supporters and reviewers of all drag and Drag Race, this bill has affected many local performers and reflects on a ridiculous anti-drag sentiment rooted in bigotry and homophobia.

Read more about the bill in this NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/05/us/tennessee-law-drag-shows.html

Here is an opinion piece that I also found informative and well-written: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/13/opinion/tennessee-anti-drag-laws.html

If you want to donate and help support drag performers, donate to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund: https://action.aclu.org/give/support-drag-defense-fund?cid=7013r000001reowAAA&initms_aff=nat&initms_chan=eml&utm_medium=eml&initms=230307_dragdefense_appeal_sb&utm_source=sb&utm_campaign=dragdefense&utm_content=230307_lgbtq_appeal&ms_aff=nat&ms_chan=eml&ms=230307_dragdefense_appeal_sb&redirect=dragdefense

Hi loves! Welcome to the Second Season of NaskoChats! In this week's episode, my bestie Isa and I talk about our failed phone case business - WOKE Case, and our journey as young entrepreneurs. We mention our journey with starting the company, our motivations, what went well, and what we struggled most on. Isa (@isalitle && @shut0p) and I really grew from that experience together and we still stayed friends after the fact so it's even more impactful to our relationship and future endeavors. Hope y'all enjoy listening!
