Join us for a very special Black August episode with our Black Loves, the only two light skin friends we have left: the illustrious Deme Brown (she/her), Brooklyn community advocate, screenwriter and director (@Demegawd_) and Dr. Isaiah Blake (he/him), Phd, East New York BK all-day, geography student at UC Berkeley and writer (IG: @isaiah.iman.blake)

Questions to consider:

If desire is a matter of life and death, if how you look determines if you live or die and how you live and die, what are we going to do?

Since desire is currency the more you have, the more you the want the more valuable you are, what does that mean for our relationships, especially Black trans, non binary, agendr tgnc and queer people? How are people able to separate how they treat the people they are in relationship with and how they think about, view and in turn, treat others?

What does social media necessitate in terms of how we perform accountability and connection to one another?
